Abstract

We present a method for estimating overheating of a partially covered solar cell module by use of short-circuit current measurement combined with infrared thermography. The resulting analysis allows for predictive calculation of over-heating and thus prevention of damage to the solar cell module due to partial shadow induced overheating.
