Partial shading conditions (PSCs) can cause a significant reduction in energy output in photovoltaic (PV) systems. This paper recounts the characteristics of PV in various condition of PCSs. The compared PV characteristics involve voltage, current, generated power, fill factor, mismatching loss, and efficiency. Six configurations of the PV system are used in this research namely Series-Parallel (SP), Honey Comb (HC), Total Cross Tied (TCT), Bridge Linked Honey Comb (BLHC), Bridge Linked Total Cross Tied (BLTCT), and Series-Parallel Total Cross Tied (SPTCT). The PSCs are considered uniform, short and narrow, long and narrow, long and wide, short and wide, and corner. The result indicates that TCT configuration is the best configuration among others then followed by the BLHC, BLTCT, SPTCT, HC, and SP configurations. © 2021 Little Lion Scientific.
