Currently, most of the state-of-the-art energy yield prediction and evaluation models reported
in the literature assume a uniform photovoltaic (PV) module temperature and air flow …

In order to reduce the negative effect of partial shading and other sources of current
mismatch within a module, smart reconfigurable modules allow altering the connections …

The energy yield of a solar panel can be severely impacted by partial shading. Shade
caused by nearby static objects can hardly be avoided in installations such as building …

In this work, a resonant switched capacitor converter with two resonant paths is proposed.
The target of this topology is to be used as sub-module converter in photovoltaic …

Poorly illuminated or defective photovoltaic cells (PV cells) affect the performance of the
whole panel. In this work, we propose a methodology to discover the best connection pattern …

In urban environments, more and more building added and building integrated photovoltaic
(PV) systems are found. These systems use conventional PV modules which have a poor …

Photovoltaic systems, which convert solar energy to electrical energy, are an attractive
solution for future clean energy provision on site. However, the performance of commercial …

Reconfigurable photovoltaic modules represent an effective solution to improve PV system
resilience to partial shading. Indeed, the availability of different configurations increases …
