4.
(2 Marks) A string has 5 modules in series. Each module has bypass diodes installed. The normal short circuit current in full sun is 4.1A If one module is shaded so that its maximum short circuit current is reduced to 1A, the characteristic of the string is shown in… (select most correct diagram.) The two curves are the unshaded and the shaded characteristics.
