Shading
Shading of a Cell in a Module. An individual solar cell has an output of 0.5 V. Cells are connected in series in a module to increase the voltage. Since the cells are in series, the current has to be the same in each cell and shading one cell causes the current in the string of cells to fall to the level of the shaded cell.
5 Proven Ways to Prevent Hotspot Effect on Solar Panels
In the absence or failure of a diode, the poor cell will start consuming energy instead of generating it. Acting as a load, it will begin taking power from its neighbouring cells. The dissipation of power from the good cells to the poor cells is called reverse bias, which ultimately leads to overheating. This creates a hotspot effect.
