Photovoltaic module types and solar cell arrays

The Ultimate Guide to Photovoltaic Modules | Solar Labs

The combination wiring is used for large PV arrays wherein a set of solar cells/modules connected in series is known as a ''string''. Since a combination wiring design is used, there are chances for mismatch effects to occur at an array scale because of the series and parallel connections present in the circuit design.
