Impact of Partial Shading on the P-V Characteristics and the Maximum Power of a Photovoltaic String

A photovoltaic system is highly susceptible to partial shading. Based on the functionality of a photovoltaic system that relies on solar irradiance to generate electrical power, it is tacitly assumed that the maximum power of a partially shaded photovoltaic system always decreases as the shading hea...
