Power Losses in Long String and Parallel-Connected Short Strings of Series-Connected Silicon-Based Photovoltaic Modules Due to Partial Shading Conditions
A. Mäki,Seppo Valkealahti +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mismatch losses and the power losses due to failure in tracking of the global maximum power point of a long string of 18 series-connected PV modules and three short strings of six series connected PV modules connected in parallel are investigated under different partial shading conditions by using MATLAB Simulink simulation model.

Tilt angle optimization to maximize incident solar radiation: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided the update status of research and applications of various methods for determining solar panel tilt angle using different optimization techniques and showed that for maximum energy gain, the optimum tilt angle for solar systems must be determined accurately for each location.

Optimum tilt angle for flat plate collectors all over the World – A declination dependence formula and comparisons of three solar radiation models
Camelia Stanciu,Dorin Stanciu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a theoretical study on the optimum tilt angle for flat plate collectors at different geographical locations and different time moments over a year, where the solar radiation density was estimated based on three analysis models, namely Hottel and Woertz model (the simplest), Isotropic diffuse model (Liu & Jordan model) and HDKR model (Hay-Davis-Klucker-Reindl), passing from the simplest to the most complex one.
