Shading losses in PV systems, and techniques to mitigate them

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity via the photovoltaic effect — whenever sunlight knocks electrons loose in the silicon materials that make up solar PV cells. As such, whenever a solar cell or panel does not receive sunlight — due to shading or nearby obstructions — the entire installation generates less overall solar ...

Introduction to Solar Cells

Solar cells are the electrical devices that directly convert solar energy (sunlight) into electric energy. This conversion is based on the principle of photovoltaic effect in which DC voltage is generated due to flow of electric current between two layers of semiconducting materials (having opposite conductivities) upon exposure to the sunlight [].
