Bypass Diodes
When the modules in series strings
are shaded partially, it may cause
reverse
voltage
across
modules, because the current from
other cells in the same series is
forced to flow through the shaded
area.
This may cause undesirable
heating to occur.
The use of a diode to bypass the
shaded area can minimize both
heating
and
reduction.
All modules are equipped with
factory installed bypass diodes. The
factory
installed
proper circuit protection for the
systems within the specified system
voltage, so that you do not need
any other additional bypass diodes.
Contact your Panasonic Authorized
Representative for proper diode
type, if it is necessary to add or
change
diodes
due
specifications.
