Modeling and detection of hot-spot in shaded photovoltaic cells [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper, we address the problem of modeling the thermal behavior of photovoltaic (PV) cells undergoing a hotspot condition. In case of shading, PV cells may experience a dramatic temperature increase, with consequent reduction of the provided power.
