| Development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems has transformed the management of renewable energy by resolving long-standing challenges in efficiency, resilience, and responsiveness. Photovoltaic (PV) power generation, highly sensitive to environmental fluctuations, can particularly benefit from AI-based control strategies. This paper proposes a hybrid AI architecture combining model-free Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) using Deep Q-Networks (DQN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to enhance Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) under dynamic conditions including rapid irradiance, temperature, humidity variations, and partial shading. The system employs real-time environmental sensor inputs, namely solar irradiance, ambient and module temperature, relative humidity, and shading indices, as the DQN state. The LSTM processes historical sequences to predict near-future power trends and enable proactive MPPT decisions. Implementation on a low-cost, energy-efficient Raspberry Pi edge computing platform enables decentralised, low-latency control without cloud dependence, suitable for remote or off-grid applications. A 180-day field validation on a rooftop 5.4 kW PV array demonstrated a 37% reduction in convergence time compared with Perturb and Observe (P&O) and 28% relative to Fuzzy Logic MPPT. The system achieved a 12.4% average increase in daily energy yield, rising to 18.7% under sporadic cloud cover and partial shading in real-world operational scenarios contexts. | ||
