The study looked at using "PolySwitch" fuses to prevent current overloads in solar panel systems. By connecting these fuses in series with parallel-connected solar panels, the risk of losing all power due to a short circuit in one panel is reduced. When a fuse triggers, the total power loss is mainly due to the decrease in current from the disconnected panel. This method helps maintain the efficiency and safety of solar arrays by preventing complete energy loss in case of a malfunction.
