A solar module consists of 46 identical cells in series, each giving an open circuit voltage of 677 mV and a short-circuit current of 6.6 A at STC. The ideality factor of the cell is 1.4. The module is short circuited and one cell is 15% shaded at STC. Neglecting temperature effects, calculate the power dissipated in the shaded cell. Assume the short circuit current of the shaded module is the same as the short circuit current of the shaded cell. (Use kT/q = 26 mV) Answer: Ow OkW A solar module consists of 46 identical cells in series, each giving an open circuit voltage of 677 mV and a short-circuit current of 6.6 A at STC.
