• Input Data Assessment Profiles Figures 1-4 provide different profiles scenarios considered in the assessment for the solar radiation and temperatures input profiles.

Solar Radiation and Temperature at Standard Test Conditions (STC)
Fig. 1 illustrates the standard test condition (STC) input profile scenario used as input for the Photovoltaic system reference in [1] .In this figure, the input irradiance remains constant at 10 0 0 W/m ², and the temperature is maintained at a constant 25 °C, with no partial shading affecting the system.STC provides a standardized benchmark against which the performance of PV systems can be evaluated consistently.This baseline allows for comparisons between different systems, configurations, or technologies, offering a reliable measure of efficiency.In addition, Testing under STC ensures that the PV system is calibrated and verified under ideal conditions.This step is crucial for establishing the system's baseline performance and validating its adherence to expected standards.

Simple Ram up/down Solar Radiation and Temperature
Fig. 2 illustrates a solar radiation and temperature waveforms with a simple variation (rampup/ramp-down), depicting the movement of the sun from dawn to sunset on a clear, sunny day.This scenario is presented without any partial shading affecting the PV system.The waveforms capture the natural progression of solar radiation and temperature throughout the day, accounting for the internal temperature rise of the solar panels.

Sudden Varying Solar Radiation and Varying Temperature.
Similar to Figs. 2 and 3 represents solar radiation and temperature waveforms with a sudden variation in both.This profile scenario is designed to test the MPPT-SMC algorithm's capability to detect sudden, unexpected changes in weather, such as a rapid drop in temperature due to wind chills, unexpected storms, or cloud movement.

Experimental Solar Radiation Inputs.

Understanding the Current-Voltage (I-V) and Power-Voltage (P-V) relationship is very crucial to understand the effect of solar radiation and temperature on any PV system.This section provides an overview of how the maximum power point (MPP) moves on the graph when the solar radiation and PV array's temperature increase or decrease.Figures [ 5,6 ] provide an overview explanation of the effect of varying solar radiations and temperature values on each PV array system.
1. Array I-V and PV Characteristics while Varying Solar Radiation and Fixing the Temperature at (25 °C).
Fig. 5 explains the effect of changing the solar radiation values of the system, while maintaining a constant PV array temperature of (25 °C).Varying solar radiation while maintaining a constant temperature has a significant impact on the electrical characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) cells, as depicted in the I-V (current-voltage) and P-V (power-voltage) curves.Solar radiation directly influences the amount of sunlight reaching the PV cell, affecting the number of     photons available for the generation of electron-hole pairs.As solar radiation increases, the I-V curve exhibits a proportional rise in current, reflecting heightened electron flow.Similarly, the P-V curve demonstrates an increase in power output, reaching its peak at the Maximum Power Point (MPP).Conversely, reduced solar radiation leads to decreased current and power output.Understanding these variations is crucial for optimizing the performance of PV systems under changing environmental conditions.It enables engineers and researchers to design and implement strategies that enhance energy capture efficiency, making PV cells more adaptable to different solar exposure levels while maintaining a constant operating temperature.
2. Array I-V and PV Characteristics while Varying the Temperature and Fixing Solar Radiation at (10 0 0 W / m 2 ).
Fig. 6 demonstrate the effect of changing the solar arrays temperature values while have a constant 10 0 0 W/m 2 solar radiation applied on the PV system.Varying the temperature significantly influences the electrical characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) cells, as depicted in the I-V (current-voltage) and P-V (power-voltage) characteristics.With an increase in temperature, the electron concentration within the semiconductor material of the PV cell rises, leading to an overall boost in generated current.Additionally, the temperature affects the saturation current, a key factor in the diode equation, contributing to changes in the I-V curve.In terms of the P-V characteristics, temperature fluctuations can shift the location of the Maximum Power Point (MPP), where the power output is maximized.Higher temperatures may increase current but can simultaneously decrease voltage, influencing the efficiency of the PV cell.Manufacturers often provide a temperature coefficient to help quantify these effects, offering insights into how efficiency and output change with temperature variations.• Partial Shading Assessment Profiles Figures 7-10 provide several profiles scenarios considered in the assessment for different Partial Shading profiles.To clarify, partial shading has a pronounced effect on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems, with the severity and dynamics of shading profiles influencing energy output and system efficiency.In simple partial shading, localized shading of a small section results in reduced power generation, impacting overall efficiency.Moderate partial shading involves intermittent shading over larger areas, causing fluctuations in power output and affecting system stability.Severe partial shading, where extensive portions of the PV array are shaded simultaneously, leads to substantial reductions in power output, potential hotspots, and decreased reliability.Dynamic partial shading involves rapid and unpredictable changes in shading conditions over time, posing challenges for traditional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms and resulting in suboptimal energy capture.Advanced MPPT algorithms, like the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm, aim to mitigate these effects by optimizing energy capture in dynamic and challenging shading scenarios, ensuring efficient PV system operation.
1. Simple Partial Shading Effect.Fig. 7 , represent the I-V and P-V characteristics of a simple case partial shading profile.In this profile, two sets of the arrays have no partial shading, while one set has 30 % partial shading affecting it.As seen from the figure, two maximum points are generated while only one of them is considered a global.

Moderate Partial Shading Effect.
In addition, Fig. 8 illustrate the I-V and P-V characteristics of a moderate partial shading profile.In this profile, two sets of the arrays have partial shading, while one set has no partial  shading affecting it.As seen from the figure, three maximum points are generated while only one of them is considered a global.Here, classical technique of locating the global maximum power point (GMPP) will have difficulties due to the ability of distinguishing the GMPP.
The extreme case of partial shading is represented in Fig. 9 .In this profile, all arrays are effected with different partial shading values creating three maximum points.However from the figure, it is clearly seen that all maximum points are close to each other in value creating a severity in locating the GMPP.This is an important case to consider in the evaluation because it really shows the capability of the considered technique to locating the GMPP.
Fig. 10 represent dynamic partial shading effect.The study of Dynamic Partial Shading (DPS) effects is of paramount importance in the field of photovoltaic (PV) systems, as it addresses the challenges posed by rapidly changing and unpredictable shading conditions.DPS occurs when shadows move across a solar array due to factors like passing clouds, foliage, or nearby structures.Understanding the impact of DPS is crucial for enhancing the efficiency and performance of PV systems, as traditional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms may struggle to adapt to these dynamic scenarios.Investigating DPS effects provides valuable insights into how shading fluctuations influence the energy output, stability, and reliability of PV systems.Moreover, research on DPS contributes to the development of advanced MPPT algorithms, such as the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm, designed to optimize energy capture in the presence of rapid and unpredictable shading changes.This knowledge is essential for designing robust and adaptive PV systems capable of effectively harnessing solar energy in real-world, dynamic environmental conditions.It is worth noting that each color represent a different set of partial shading conditions dynamically affecting the PV system.
