Shading and masking affect the performance of photovoltaic systems—a review

Photovoltaic collectors in the second and in the subsequent rows in a multiple row deployment of PV fields are subject to two effects: Shading and masking both of which reduce the incident solar radiation, and hence reduce the electric energy generated by the PV field. Shading affects the direct bea...
