Cell string layout in solar photovoltaic collectors

 

1) To analyze the collected power of a Concentrator Photovoltaic-Thermal (C-PVT) as function of the tilt angle;


2) To analyze the different type of by-pass diodes connections;


3) To conclude about the best type of connections for different types of applications.
