Simulation of the effect of shading on monocrystalline solar module technology under hot spot condition
This paper focuses on the monocrystalline PV module technology subjected to operation conditions with some cells partially or fully shaded. A shaded cell under hot-spot condition operating at reverse bias are dissipating power instead of delivering power. A thermal model allows analyzing the tempera...

| Summary: | This paper focuses on the monocrystalline PV module technology subjected to operation conditions with some cells partially or fully shaded. A shaded cell under hot-spot condition operating at reverse bias are dissipating power instead of delivering power. A thermal model allows analyzing the temperature increase of the shaded cells of the module under hot-spot condition with or without protection by a bypass diode. A comparison of the simulation results for a monocrystalline PV module without shading and with partial or full shading is presented. |
