RECONFIGURABLE PHOTOVOLTAIC STRUCTURE

摘要

A photovoltaic structure is provided. The photovoltaic structure has photovoltaic elements that can be electrically connected to one another to reduce mismatch. The photovoltaic elements can be electrically connected based on sorting the photovoltaic elements by irradiance level, minimizing mismatch, or maximizing output power. Where sorting is used, the photovoltaic elements can be connected in a serpentine arrangement.
