Description
Today, hotspots are a major source of failure for photovoltaic modules in the field. Modules based on half-cut solar cells are an attractive pathway to reduce cell-to-module losses and are projected to have a 40% market share by 2028. However, the current standard for module testing IEC 61215-2 can leave critical hotspots undetected in such a module configuration. In this paper, the hotspot effect of half-cell modules using parallel connected cell substrings is studied in comparison with...[Show more]
