				Effects of Extreme Weather Conditions on PV Systems
We are witnessing significant climatic changes and increasingly frequent extreme weather conditions affecting every part of the globe. In order to reduce and stop these unfavourable climate changes, there
 
				Shading effect on the performance of a photovoltaic
Photovoltaic modules are very sensitive to the reduction of solar irradiation due to shading. Shading can be caused by a fixed obstacle (wall, tree or even a simple pillar) or in case of
 
				The designs and precautions for solar panel lightning
As the scale of solar solar panel and the scope of applications continue to expand, solar panel lightning protection and grounding protection measures are increasingly valued in large and small solar panel systems.
 
				Lightning Protection for Your Solar Panel System
Earthing is a fundamental and important component within a lightning protection system, especially to safeguard a solar panel farm. Generally, we cannot avoid surge propagation into the solar panel power circuits, but we
 
				32 percent of damages in photovoltaic plants are caused by lightning.
Defined shadows: Appear when the object, a lightning rod in this case, is located near to the solar panel. They have a double negative effect: A decrease in energy production and damages in
