60-cell module. Two columns of PV cells are connected in series, which are then connected to a bypass diode (Triangular symbol at top).
60-cell module. Strong shading across an entire row of cells will trigger all of the bypass diodes. 100% of module production will be lost.
60-cell module. Strong shading down an entire column of cells will only trigger one bypass diode. 33% of module production will be lost.
