The most common problem for PV [photovoltaic module] is cell shading. If a module is partially shaded, it does not produce electricity due to load impedence. However, the cells not shaded continue to produce voltage, creating a voltage with reverse polarity in neighbouring shaded cells. When the cell' s throughput voltage of 15 volts has been attained, it becomes conductive and acts as resistance. Electricity then flows, heating the cell, possible to the point of destruction. 1, record 2, English, - cell%20shading

hot spot effect. If several cells in a solar module are shaded, the ones not shaded still produce electricity, which flows through the series connections to the shaded cells that now act as blocking diodes. The great resistance causes the cells to overheat; they may even be destroyed in the process. To prevent such "hot spots" from forming, bypass diodes are used to pass the current through. 2, record 3, English, - hot%20spot%20effect

Phénomène se produisant lorsqu'un module au silicium cristallin voit une de ses cellules masquée par des taches d'ombre ou même, une feuille d'arbre y adhérant, et que cette cellule ainsi ombrée devient réceptrice de toutes les autres de la série et qu'elle reçoit, en tension inverse, la somme de toutes les hautes tensions. Elle se met alors à surchauffer, créant ainsi un point chaud. 1, record 3, French, - ph%C3%A9nom%C3%A8ne%20du%20point%20chaud

The module resistance is a function of both the conductivity of the solution being treated, the ionic form of the ion-exchange resin in the diluting components, and the resistance of the stack components(membrane, spacers and resin).
