A method for selecting between centralized and distributed maximum power point tracking in energy generating system is provided. The energy generating system includes a plurality of energy generating devices, each of which is coupled to a corresponding local converter. Each local converter includes a local controller for the corresponding energy generating device. The method includes determining whether the energy generating devices are operating under quasi-ideal conditions. The energy generating system is placed in a centralized maximum power point tracking (CMPPT) mode when the energy generating devices are operating under quasi-ideal conditions and is placed in a distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) mode when the energy generating devices are not operating under quasi-ideal conditions.
