Partial shading causes power loss in a photovoltaic module by inducing a power mismatch within the module. This power loss can be significant in building-applied and building-integrated photovoltaic installations. Given the often repetitive nature of shade profiles in such applications, we propose to employ non-reconfigurable or static configurations. We use our simulation tool to precompute static configurations, apply shading scenarios, such as a chimney or tree shade, and make a comparison between the energy yields of different static configurations, which includes that of a conventional module. We then identify the configuration characteristics that consistently yield a higher energy. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
