 There is another approach, which is to **bring the shaded cells/strings back online by bringing the rest of the panel down to their level**.  It sounds counterproductive, but with MPPT controllers and in some higher-voltage series configurations (say Vmp is >=3x bank voltage) it works.   There is another approach, which is to **bring the shaded cells/strings back online by bringing the rest of the panel down to their level**.  It sounds counterproductive, but with MPPT controllers and in some higher-voltage series configurations (say Vmp is >=3x bank voltage) it works.  
  
-This occurs because the MPPT has a broader range of voltages to sweep and can find [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960148113006952|other power peaks]] (panel voltages) that are **low enough to bring the shaded cells back online** but still **high enough to charge the battery bank**.  It's  not reality, but we can think of it as MPPT evenly "shading" the entire panel voltage-wise in order to get max juice from it in partial shade conditions.+This occurs because the MPPT has a broader range of voltages to sweep and can find [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960148113006952|other power peaks]] (panel voltages) that are **low enough to bring the shaded cells back online** but still **high enough to charge the battery bank**.  It's  not reality, but we can think of it as MPPT evenly "shading" the entire panel voltage-wise in order to get max juice from it in partial shade conditions.((https://diysolarforum.com/threads/mppt-sizing.17947/post-208104))
