Definition of Bypass diode

The bypass diode, connected in parallel to the PV cell, allows current to flow past the shaded cell, preventing the formation of hot spots. This diode is necessary to minimise the energy losses that occur due to the increase in cell resistance caused by shading. Without a bypass diode, these losses can be up to 90 per cent. Modern photovoltaic cells are usually equipped with bypass diodes to ensure efficient operation.

Context of usage for Bypass diode

1. A bypass diode is connected in parallel to a solar cell to redirect current around shaded areas, preventing energy loss due to hotspots.
2. The bypass diode helps maintain the efficiency of a solar panel by reducing the impact of shading, which can otherwise significantly decrease performance.
3. Modern photovoltaic systems are equipped with bypass diodes to protect individual solar cells from damage caused by overheating during partial shading.
