Identification and characterisation of performance limiting defects and cell mismatch in photovoltaic modules
The performance and longevity of photovoltaic (PV) modules can be severely limited by cell mismatch occurring when a solar cell in a series-connected string produces a lower current than the other cells in that string. The current output of the entire string is limited by the weakest cell in the str...
