New Design Makes Solar Panels Shade Tolerant
Summary
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new solution to this problem by designing a radial layout for a solar panel. This design assures that a shadow will shade many cells at once, allowing the reverse voltage to distribute across the shaded cells. This design avoids reverse breakdown without the need for external bypass diodes, thereby, simplifying the manufacturing process and alleviating shadow degradation.
