Summary: What happens when shade cuts across PV strings?

# The many shades of PV electrical mismatch
19
Effects from shade are complicated, but can be summarized in two orthogonal categories:
210

311
1. shade across all modules parallel to strings
412
2. shade across few modules perpendicular to strings

These categories were defined in the Fast Shade Model [1, 2] developed by Dr.

Bennet Meyers after simulating hundreds of different shade patterns and grouping

them by their electrical mismatch.
