Reverse Blocking Diodes
Problem Description: SunPower PV solar cells have unique characteristics that cause them to conduct current in reverse more easily than regular rigid solar cells. In parallel connected PV systems if all or part of a SunPower PV panel is shaded, then other unshaded parallel panels can force current through the shad…
Reverse Blocking Diodes
INTRODUCTION Problem Description: In parallel connected PV systems if all or part of a PV panel is shaded, then other unshaded parallel panels can force current through the shaded panel and cause unnecessary heating that can cause discoloration of some rooftop materials and wasted power that can reduce system per…
