High PV cell temperatures caused by hot spotting can damage the encapsulate, leading to second breakdown and permanent damage to the PV panel. Therefore, a hot spot mitigation technique is proposed using a simple, low-cost, and reliable hot spot activation method.
When a PV solar cell is affected by a hot spot, its temperature is reduced due to the application of a hot spot mitigation technique. The difference between the hot spot temperature and the reference solar cell temperature (78.7°F) is shown in Table 3.
To prevent a hot spot in a PV (Photovoltaic) module, opening the circuit of the substring containing the mismatched cell is an effective method. This is because no current or power will flow through any cell in the PV substring when the module is bypassed, thereby preventing hot spotting. Once a hot spot is detected, this approach ensures no net output power is produced.
The main prevention method for hot spotting in PV cells is the use of a passive bypass diode placed in parallel with a string of PV cells\. This is a standard practice required in crystalline silicon PV panels.
Hot spot effects account f or a large proportion of photovoltaic module failures, so it is of engineering significance to study them and put forward sugge stions for fault prevention. modules. Finally, it puts forward some measures to prevent faul ts to improve the operational reliability of photovoltaic modules. 1. Introduction
Abstract: Hot spotting is a reliability problem in photovoltaic (PV) panels where a mismatched cell heats up significantly and degrades PV panel output-power performance. High PV cell temperature due to hot spotting can damage the cell encapsulate and lead to second breakdown, where both cause permanent damage to the PV panel.
