Technical Note Bypass Diode Effects in Shaded Conditions Introduction Bypass diodes are a standard addition to any crystalline PV module. The bypass diodes’ function is to eliminate the hot-spot phenomena which can damage PV cells and even cause fire if the light hitting the surface of the PV cells in a module is not uniform. The bypass diodes are usually placed on sub-strings of the PV module,…
