Herman Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Good morning fellow members, If we add pv panels in series, then the voltage gets "added" en the total current stays the same. When we add them in parallel, the current gets "added", and the voltage stays the same. When does the bypass diode's current limit come into play? To me, it seems never, from the above, but I just want to sense check myself. Regards, Herman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel_2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi Herman. Bypass diode brings current when the cells that protects is in shadow and the other cells aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
