← TechnologyWithin cascaded photovoltaic cells, which consequence results when reverse leakage intensifies in a shaded diode?
A)Reduced maximum power point tracking✓
B)Increase in open-circuit voltage
C)Improves thermal runaway protection
D)Enhanced short-circuit current density
💡 Explanation
Hotspot formation occurs with reverse leakage, because reverse bias causes power dissipation primarily through the Zener breakdown mechanism. Therefore, maximum power point tracking is diminished, rather than voltage increasing like it would with illumination.
