     summary: Input and Output Power of the Buck Boost converter with fuzzy logic Mppt Controller at constant temperature (T=25 C°) and varying insulation As shown, fuzzy controller gives smother power signal line, less oscillation and better stable operating point than P&O. This paper presents the performance of tow MPPT algorithms for tracking the maximum power available in PV array system, with Fuzzy Logic controller and P&O.

     summary: This indicates that the main factors hindering manufacturing MSMEs’ use of solar energy falls in the three constructs i.e., environmental concern (Ec): staff/ employers’ concern about air pollution resulted from energy use, staff/employers’ concern about climate change, staff/employer concern about source of energy which do not deteriorate the quality of ecosystem – biodiversity, decline of animal species, staff/employer’s concern on water/land pollution caused by energy use by MSME’s and staff/employer’s concern about waste reduction); solar energy awareness (sea): Experience in previous use of solar energy, awareness of solar PV use and needs/benefits, understanding of different types of solar PV which can be used at industry, availability of technical solutions for solar PV and awareness of the benefits-costs of solar PV; and solar energy generation cost (segc): The generation of solar energy may cause additional cost, Solar energy requires high initial investment cost, Solar energy consumption needs a high Set-up & installation cost, and Solar PV systems requires high repair cost. The results revealed that drivers for manufacturing MSME’s deployment of solar energy for different operations includes the environmental concern, solar energy awareness, energy generation cost, technological advancement, benefits of solar use, and risk perceptions.

     summary: On a political level, renewable energy policies in Europe are criticized as being uncoordinated, unstrategised and based on multiple interests, generally favouring macro level and inadequate to stimulate widespread adoption at the micro level. Similarly, in the MENA region, there is a lack of coordination between sustainable energy policies with other policy fields, namely economic, financial, environmental and social policy, with a lack of expertise in renewable energy policies and supportive policies for private investment.
