New Coupled Model for Prediction of the Temperature Distribution in a PV Cell with a Hot Spot Induced by Partial Shading

Since the use of photovoltaics in the domestic and industrial sector is increasing, the reliability and safety of photovoltaic power generation systems is becoming more and more important. One of the crucial issues for safety is the formation of a hot spot, which can reach several hundred degrees Celsius in less than thirty minutes. For this reason, a fire may occur under prolonged exposure. However, a method for hot-spot detection during...
