mismatch in a couple of modules in a string
Unexpected shape with missing between Voc and
around Pm
・ One module or a few modules with low irradiation
Unexpected shape with moderate slope from Voc
・ Large series resistance of PV cables or high
contact resistance of connectors
・ Degradation of interconnect in module
Unexpected shape with steep slope from Isc
・ Small parallel resistance of module.
