Some studies reveal that shading on just one solar cell in a panel can reduce the power output of the entire panel by 50-80%, being is a considerable figure. On panel level, shading induces not only performance decrease, but hotspot effect that can potentially pose severe results.
The proposed research was aimed to evaluate the shading effect of photovoltaic panels. The result of this research indicated that the shading has a potential effect to optimize the performance ratio of solar power system. Four perspective designs have been selected considering the different tilt and azimuth to achieve the best performance ratio.
The power output of a PV panel predominantly depends on the amount of solar insolation at the location and the temperature. The power output of the PV cell is directly proportional to the total area under radiation. Shading of the panel reduces the effective area of the PV panel available for power generation and reduces the panel’s efficiency.
Even partial shading leads to "mismatch losses," where shaded cells generate less electricity compared to unshaded ones, reducing the system's overall efficiency and energy yield. Shading effects on PV panels are complex and can vary with the sun's position, seasonal changes, or nearby objects casting shadows.
Various empirical models have been developed to better understand and mitigate the effects of partial shading on PV panels. These models aim to predict the electrical performance of shaded PV arrays and assist in optimizing system configurations for better energy yield. Several early works focused on single-diode and double-diode models.
Partial shading, a significant challenge in solar power generation, can drastically reduce energy output, yet predicting its effects remains difficult using conventional models. This study introduces a methodology that models partial shading as an equivalent reduction in solar insolation across the entire panel.
