Suppose, in a photovoltaic string with multiple modules (assume 10), all connected in series, each module is getting different values of irradiance uniformly throughout the module surface. Each module with 72 cells in series is as per the market standard with 3 bypass diodes for every 24 cells. I am trying to understand whether these would also lead to the formation of multiple MPPs in the voltage-current characteristic of the string, or will it still have a single peak, with a low short-circuit current due to the limiting effect from the module with the lowest irradiance. It would be helpful if you can suggest some suitable literature to study more on it. Thanks.
