Digital Technologies for Solar Photovoltaic Systems

Saad Motahhir (Eng., PhD, IEEE Senior Member) has previous expertise in the industry as Embedded System Engineer at Zodiac Aerospace Morocco from 2014 to 2019. He has recently become a professor at ENSA, SMBA University, Fez, Morocco. He received his engineering degree in embedded systems from (ENSA) Fez in 2014. In addition to the above, he received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from SMBA University in 2018. He has published and contributed to numerous publications in different journals, and conferences in the last few years, most of which are related to photovoltaic (PV) solar energy, and embedded systems. In addition to this, he has published several patents in the Moroccan Office of Industrial, and Commercial Property. He edited many books and acted as a guest editor of different special issues, and topical collections. He is a reviewer and also a member in the editorial board of different journals. He was associated with more than 30 international conferences as a Program Committee/Advisory Board/Review Board member, and he is a member of the Arab Youth Center council. He is the (ICDTA) Conference chair.
