FAQS 4

How to prevent a hot spot in a PV module?

To prevent a hot spot in a PV (Photovoltaic) module, opening the circuit of the substring containing the mismatched cell is an effective method. This is because no current or power will flow through any cell in the PV substring when the module is bypassed, thereby preventing hot spotting. Once a hot spot is detected, this approach ensures no net output power is produced.

What happens if a PV solar cell is affected by a hot spot?

When a PV solar cell is affected by a hot spot, its temperature is reduced due to the application of a hot spot mitigation technique. The difference between the hot spot temperature and the reference solar cell temperature (78.7°F) is shown in Table 3.

What happens if a solar panel gets hot?

The higher the number and severity of hot spots, the greater the impact on the panel’s overall performance. Continuous exposure to hot spots can cause physical damage to solar cells, leading to permanent degradation and reduced panel lifespan. Excessive heat can cause cell delamination, solder joint failure, or even cell cracking.

How much power does a hot spot PV module produce?

One PV module affected by a hot spot produced approximately 3.6W less power before the activation of the hot spot mitigation technique. After the activation, the output power increased by approximately 3.6W.
