Presently, the world is going through a euphoric rush to install photovoltaic (PV) devices in
deserts, over water bodies, on rooftops of houses, vehicles, and parking spaces, and many …

For expansion of any country's economy, development of infrastructure, and eventually
improving the quality of life, electrical power is one of the greatest enabler. And hence three …

Generation of the hot spot in photovoltaic cells (PV) cells under partial shading conditions
(PSC) is a persistent issue associated with PV systems which not only affects the PV …

Partial shading condition (PSC) poses a significant challenge to solar power generation as it
has a severe impact on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems, leading to a decrease …

This work investigates the impact of cracks and fractural defects in solar cells and their
cause for output power losses and the development of hotspots. First, an …

The ever-increasing demand for sustainable energy has drawn attention towards
photovoltaic efficiency and reliability. In this context, the shading and associated hotpot …

Photovoltaic (PV) hot-spots is a reliability problem in PV modules, where a cell or group of
cells heats up significantly, dissipating rather than producing power, and resulting in a loss …

For photovoltaic modules, hot-spot phenomena are very common and influential, affecting
device performance and causing irreversible damage. Researchers mainly pay attentions to …

In recent years, solar cell cracks have been a topic of interest to industry because of their
impact on performance deterioration. Therefore, in this work, we investigate the correlation …

The accumulated financial loss of the Indian state-owned electricity utilities (SOEUs) has
crossed over USD 6.25 billion and 80% of the SOEUs are consistently incurring losses and …
