Comparative Analysis of Edge Soiling Resilience: Full-Cell vs. Half-Cell Photovoltaic Modules in Different Mounting Orientations

Figure 3

Simulation model by Simulink for the half-cell module. The half-cell module is composed of six units. The first and second three units are connected in series, respectively and then connected in parallel with three bypass diodes. The module is also connected to a series diode, a capacitor, voltmeter, an ammeter, and other measuring units. The small boxes with an arrow pointing to the unit are the input parameters, including irradiance and temperature.
