PV Partial Shading Calculator: Bypass Diodes and Optimizers
Sweep a shadow across solar cells and watch the P–V peaks change. Compare bypass diodes, global or local MPPT, and module optimizer power after conversion losses.
Solar and wind energy calcs: balcony power plants, PV with home batteries, off-grid systems, sun position and wind-turbine yield. Neutral estimates that name the rules and data they use.
Sweep a shadow across solar cells and watch the P–V peaks change. Compare bypass diodes, global or local MPPT, and module optimizer power after conversion losses.
Compare solar DC/AC ratios, annual yield and added-panel payback. Separate MPPT current loss, inverter clipping and grid export curtailment, with an east–west option.
Size a solar water pump from daily demand, borehole drawdown and pipe losses. Estimate PV kWp, pump horsepower, hourly flow and intake submergence.
Check cold-morning PV string voltage against the inverter’s hard DC limit, hot MPPT voltage, current and DC/AC ratio. Animate a temperature-dependent I–V curve.
Build a PV module I-V and P-V curve family from datasheet points. Scale a matched array and animate P&O or incremental conductance MPPT with voltage-step and sampling trade-offs.
Size an off-grid solar array, battery bank, MPPT or PWM controller and inverter from daily loads, sunless days and worst-month peak sun hours.
