The impact of cracks on photovoltaic power performance

As illustrated in Fig. 8 (b), the multiple directions crack affected 5 solar cells, reducing the power efficiency of the PV module up to 8.42%. However, the average reduction in the power for the multiple directions crack affecting 1 solar cell with an approximate broken area of less than 46.2 mm 2 is equal to 1.04%.
