Improvement of Shade Resilience in Photovoltaic Modules Using Buck Converters in a Smart Module Architecture

Partial shading has a nonlinear effect on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Different methods of optimizing energy harvesting under partial shading conditions have been suggested to mitigate this issue. In this paper, a smart PV module architecture is proposed for improvement of shade re...
