PHOTO-VOLTAIC DEVICE HAVING IMPROVED SHADING DEGRADATION RESISTANCE

摘要

An article of manufacture includes an active solar area having a number of photovoltaic (PV) cell sets. Each of the PV cell sets includes one or more PV cells, and has a PV cell set area. Each of the PV cell sets includes a spacing distribution, where the spacing distribution is such that a geometric shape having a predetermined characteristic area value cannot be positioned to cover an area greater than a reverse biasing fraction of the PV cell set area corresponding to the PV cell set.
