Abstract: Occurrence of partial shading and its high impact on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) system have received considerable attention during the last few years. It has forced the researchers to explore more novel PV array configurations to sustain under partial shading conditions (PSCs). To diminish the effects of PSCs, this paper presents an overview of the state-of-the-art developments of various PV array configuration models for PV systems. Different modelling approaches are analyzed while emphasizing their benefits and inadequacies. Different models available in the recent state-of-the-art literatures are studied and categorized according to vital configurations and features. Mainly, various PV array configurations such as advanced, futuristic configurations are also compared with the existing configurations. In this paper, recent research developments (that deserve further examination) are acknowledged and deliberated for the future researchers working in this domain.
