Chakravarty, Saurabh (author)Photovoltaic (PV) modules have considerable difficulty when exposed to shading since even partial blockages can significantly reduce energy production. To make the PV module shade-resilience, sub-module maximum power point tracking(MPPT) can be done for each string in the module. One way of doing it is by using converters at the sub-module level...master thesis 2023

PAPADOPOULOS, ILIAS (author)One of the main reasons that the efficiency drops from cell to module is the conduction losses. To increase the efficiency of the PV module, the produced charge carriers in the semiconductor materials should be transferred to the PV module terminals with minimum conduction losses. As an alternative to the conventional cells and modules...master thesis 2021
