Apart from that, the temperature of the hot spot and the current of the cell were recorded during the test, as shown in Fig. 2 (d). The temperature of the hot spot increased slightly at the beginning, which should be attributed to the thermal effect caused by current, and showed a rapid growth to almost 24.9 °C at 14.1 s, after which it stabilized gradually despite the fluctuation.

A diode is a device that allows an electrical current to flow in one direction (forward bias). A bypass diode allows alternate electrical current (reverse bias) when a cell on the solar module becomes shaded or blocked by debris. Typical solar panels only have two bypass diodes, one every 18-24 cells.
