Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Partial Shading on Photovoltaic Cells’ Electrical Parameters

Figure 1

Experimental samples (a), the nine shelter locations by using 1 cm × 1 cm black square card (b), the six shelter locations by using 2 cm × 1 cm black rectangle card (c), and the center shelters with isosceles triangle, circle, square, and two rectangles black cards whose areas are 2 cm² (d). The dashed lines are the cell’s fingers (not to scale).
