Photovoltaic panel shade current and voltage

When a solar panel is equally shaded, the amount of light it is receiving is very low. This does not always reflect on its voltage, but it directly affects the current.. When a solar panel is equally shaded, the amount of light it is receiving is very low. This does not always reflect on its voltage, but it directly affects the current.. The shaded spot on one panel will decrease the string of panels to 3 amps at 52.5 volts. [pdf]
