Shading solar panels? Expect major power losses and multiple peaks!
The article analyzes how solar panels perform when some parts are shaded. Shading causes power loss and heat buildup in shaded areas. Multiple peaks in power output are seen in shaded conditions. The researchers used MATLAB/SIMULINK to model and test different solar panel configurations. They found that connecting panels in series during shading leads to drawbacks. Parallel connections are more effective in such conditions.
