Reconfigurable PV Modules
The electrical performance of urban solar PV systems is often affected by partial shading. Our team works on reconfigurable modules that can adapt their inner electrical interconnections according to the shading conditions, and maximize the electrical power output. Our work is focused on developing and measuring the performance of shade-tolerant systems.
