Solar Photovoltaic systems are used for electrical power generation, and they provide an alternative source to non-renewable energy sources like coal, oil, natural gas nuclear energy. arrays in PV may be subjected partial shading conditions, thereby affecting generation because of higher mismatch losses. Due uneven distribution irradiation condition, some the bypass diodes turned on affect a photovoltaic array. The losses due output from panels different irradiations non-uniform conditions. loss can reduced by uniformly distributing partially shaded condition over entire In this work shaped 4 × array configuration is proposed overcome effect providing lower Simulations under conditions carried out using MATLAB Simulink, experimental setupis results discussed.
