A Comprehensive Study of Module Layouts for Silicon Solar Cells Under Partial Shading

Integrated applications for solar energy production becomes increasingly important. The electrification of car bodies and building facades are only two prominent examples. In such shading a challenging problem, since the classic serial interconnection cells in terms power output is highly vulnerable to partial shading. this article, we investigate three most common module layouts market (conventional, butterfly, shingle string) add fourth layout (shingle matrix) be introduced future. We discuss an approach cluster shadings occurring urban surroundings into basic shapes like “rectangular” “random”. Choosing Monte Carlo technique combination with latin hypercube sampling (LHS), consider more than 3000 scenarios total. For evaluation scenarios, conduct circuit simulations using LTspice. Furthermore, define normalization base, which considers as quantitative baseline comparison. Our results show, that already 200–400 obtained values stabilize. Among investigated layouts, matrix achieves highest score, followed by string, half-cell butterfly conventional full-cell layout.
