RE: Solar PV ?

Kevin,

I think in theory it still does, but you can get panels with built in
bypass diodes that should mean only those cells (or possibly string of
cells) within the panel that are shaded get affected.  I have another
installer coming tonight so I'll be quizzing him a little more about this
:)

If you had an array of panels but one of them was in shade , perhaps
from a chimney stack , does this same situation occur ? I'm
assuming not as it must be correctable via electronics but just checking...
