SunPower Solar Panels – Designed for Life in the Real World – Reliability and Shading
In the real world, solar panels regularly undergo partial shading sticks leaves dust even bird droppings and what happens when a solar panel is partially shaded. That depends on which solar panel for some a shaded cell can lead to significant power loss.
Why? Because a shaded solar cell can & # 39, t generate power and it can’t properly pass the power generated by its unshaded neighbor cells. Instead, it dissipates that power resulting in additional power loss for the entire panel for this conventional panel, partial shading.
On just one cell shuts down a third of the entire panel, but Sun power is designed differently. Sun power’s. Patented Maxion cell technology is optimized with built-in protection so that if and when a leaf or anything else, shades a sell.
Only the shaded cell powers down resulting in far less power loss, let’s. Look at the power output of two panels under shading in this experiment. Sun power panels are more efficient than conventional panels to begin with, so they produce more power.
Now let’s, see what happens when we shade a small portion of the panel Sun power is operating at 89 %, while the conventional panel is down to 66 percent, and if shading continues over time, a conventional front contact panel will fail, resulting in 100 % power loss, but Sun powers, Maxion technology has built-in protection for each cell ensuring consistent power production.
Even if shading continues bottom line. Sun power panels are designed for the real world and Sun power’s. Exhaustive testing ensures that their systems perform consistently hassle-free for well over 25 years.
