<br>
I was incorrect on one point in my previous post on the subject. The
SolarWorld SW230 is comprised of one series string of cells. It acts
somewhat like there are three strings because of the bypass diodes. If you
shade one cell of one group, the bypass diodes kick in and allow the module to
continue to produce power but at a reduced level.<br>
<br>
Our test showed that if the short edge is shaded for more than half of a cell
width on the narrow edge, the total output caved. The same shading on the
long edge reduced output minimally.<br>
