Monitoring of Photovoltaic System Performance Using Outdoor Suns-VOC

“…Individual PV cells were simulated based on a single-diode model, using R S and R SH values of 0.01 and 300 U, respectively. 38 Both I-V and Suns-V OC measurements were simulated with various shading scenarios. Figure 2 shows modeled light I-V and Suns-V OC curves for one-sun irradiance with 50% partial shading affecting one, two, and three cells, each from a different string.…”
