Abstract The photovoltaic power generation system is influenced by many variables such as weather conditions, solar radiation change, terrain, module angle, module characteristics and efficiency, and inverter characteristics and efficiency. In this paper, we analyze the effect of the number of MPPTs of inverters in the photovoltaic power generation system on the amount of power generation, and selected power plants that applied inverters with different inverter types and MPPT numbers from the actual power plants in operation. Empirical evaluation is performed based on the collected data, and the difference in power generation according to monthly and weather conditions is analyzed.
