Analysis on the Effects of Hard Shading Pattern to I-V Performance Curve

Hard shading on a photovoltaic (PV) module has a disproportionate impact on its power production. Minimizing power losses is critical in the installation of the PV module since it can greatly diminish the module’s performance and capacity to generate electricity. Thorough examination of the conseque...
