Abstract
The economic viability of solar power has led to widespread adoption in homes and businesses. However, its intermittent nature requires integration with other renewables and storage solutions to achieve peak efficiency. This study delves into the in-depth review and analysis of mathematical modeling for determining the optimum capacity of solar power plants and their combination with the other sources based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The main contributions of this research include a) Presenting the most commonly used variables for optimizing PV-based combination sources in the literature. b) Utilizing text mining on a large database in addition to the PRISMA model to increase the comprehensiveness of the results. c) Presenting all the common objective models in the literature, and d) Conducting a comprehensive comparison of solving techniques. This research provides valuable insights into the status and development trends in optimal sizing for PV energy systems by providing future direction in the renewable sources combination area.
