Solar cell current generation circuit has bypass diodes across each solar cell chain connected in series and bridged in groups by further diodes

摘要

The current generation circuit has a number of chains of solar cells (10-32) connected in series, with the bypass diodes (50,52,54,56,58,60), connected in parallel across each chain, connected in series with one another. Further diodes (64,66,68,70) are connected in parallel across each group of 2 or 3 series bypass diodes.
