Shading effect
Shading suppress direct flux Diffuse flux is less than 20% of
direct flux In addition, energy level of most
photons in diffuse radiation is too low to activate conductance for silicon output of shaded cells is almost zero
Cells of a solar panel are in series shade on few cells leads to almost null output
