Efficiency Improvement of Nonuniformly Aged PV Arrays [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2017 The utilization of solar energy by photovoltaic (PV) systems have received much research and development (R&D) attention across the globe. In the past decades, a large number of PV array have been installed. Since the installed PV arrays often operate in harsh environments, non-uniform aging can occur and impact adversely on the performance of PV ...

A Reconfiguration Method for Extracting Maximum Power from Non-Uniform Aging Solar Panels
Energies, 2018 Aging affects different photovoltaic (PV) modules in a PV array in a non-uniform way, thereby leading to non-uniform working conditions of the PV modules and resulting in variations in the power outputs of the PV array.

Accurate Modeling of Partially Shaded PV Arrays [PDF]
2017 IEEE 44th Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC), 2017 Partial shading is the condition of nearby objects casting shade onto part of a photovoltaic (PV) array, causing the PV modules to receive non-uniform irradiance. Non-uniform shading causes electrical mismatch between elements within the array, resulting in a non-linear reduction in energy capture.
