The rising global demand for sustainable energy has accelerated the adoption of photovoltaic (PV)systems as clean, renewable power sources. However, PV systems are prone to various faults, includingMaximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) failures, Low Power Point Tracking (LPPT) issues, partialshading, and hardware degradation. These issues can significantly impact system efficiency andlifespan. Accurate, timely fault detection and classification are crucial for improving reliability andreducing maintenance costs
