Comparative Analysis of Edge Soiling Resilience: Full-Cell vs. Half-Cell Photovoltaic Modules in Different Mounting Orientations

Figure 5

Schematics of edge soiling. The deep blue squares represent the shaded cells while the light blue squares represent the unshaded ones. (a, b) Edge soiling for the full-cell and half-cell modules in the landscape orientation, respectively. (c, d) Edge soiling for the full-cell and half-cell modules in the portrait orientation, respectively.
