Abstract

The projected approach investigates the effects and performance of photovoltaic (PV) cells under partial illuminations. This work is crucial because PV cells, which are frequently used in sustainable electrical power productions and follows the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and electrical power output variations. As a novel approach, it shows the significant elements that affect how well a particular type of PV cell technology performs in relation to energy applications that are typically obscured by ambient elements like trees, buildings, and clouds, etc. The projected scheme aims to enumerate the electrical yield capability of PV cells under the partial light and understand the impact of this on their efficacy and overall performance of the system. Using a combination of parametric study and suitable reconfigured models, the study investigates the electrical characteristics of partially shaded/distributed illuminations and the probable solution of the performance barriers of the respective situations. The results highlight the necessity for adequate installation and shade mitigation strategies, since even a little amount of shadowing can have a significant influence on energy output, but the totally cross tied reconfiguration shows the best results among the presented interconnections. The paper also discusses the broader implications for sustainable applications, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions to maintain high efficiency in real-world environments. By improving the PV system's reliability and efficiency in producing sustainable energy, this study contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy) towards the global transition to renewable energy sources.
