Reading research papers is must for carrying out updated research that too in right direction. When I was stuck for almost two months on the design issues related to grid-connected PV systems I worked hard to get my issues resolved. While reading and reading and reading I read thesis reports, research papers and a lot of online articles. However, the following papers helped me a lot in expanding the breadth of my knowledge base.
