## 7 Conclusions  
This paper elaborated a hybrid (InC-DFO) MPPT technique to harvest the maximum power of solar PV energy systems. Comparison of the proposed InC-DFO method is done with the six other already in use techniques such as PSO, DFO, FA, ACO, InC with variable step size, and CS MPPT technique. The comparison is tested for four cases from which one case is for UI, two cases for PS and one case is for CPS condition. After comparing the previous techniques with the proposed technique, the results (statistical data in Table 3 and analytical analysis show that the proposed hybrid technique outperforms convergence time, settling time, power, efficiency, and robustness. It has the lowest settling time of 0.75 s to find the GM, even in the case of CPS. InC-DFO technique gives the highest efficiency

for all weather conditions like UI, PS, and CPS. This proposed technique saved the power losses because of the fast searching ability of a GM and reduced the settling time that may enhance the performance of the PV energy systems in a transient state. Moreover, ripples and overshoot is eliminated because of zero oscillation in the transient state. It is thus concluded that although the conventional techniques are suitable for uniform irradiance, they do not find GM in the case of partial shading. Similarly, they require less time for tracking but they are stuck on LM. On the other side, bio-inspired methods are complex and take more time in finding the MPP. The proposed hybrid technique is the combination of InC and DFO, and it is used in two stages. In the first stage, the conventional InC technique with variable step size is adopted because of less convergence and settling time while in the second stage, a bio-inspired DFO technique is implemented for finding the GM quicker. The proposed technique outperforms the competition in terms of MPP monitoring and integration at the global MPP. The suggested MPPT technique efficiently achieves tracking time improvements of 10-29% and spontaneous oscillation reductions of more than 91%. The hybrid MPPT technique provides faster maximum power point (MPP) monitoring, lower computational pressure, and increased performance.
