How does solar module integration affect the efficiency of a solar module?

Interconnecting solar cells and integrating them into a solar module comes along with different optical and electrical effects that influence the module efficiency. A profound understanding of these factors is essential to derive methods to decrease the losses or increase the gains caused by module integration.

Why do photovoltaic modules not match the initial cells?

Usually, the power and efficiency of the assembled photovoltaic modules do not match those of the initial cells. This discrepancy is due to various factors during module assembly, such as cell interconnection, encapsulation, and module framing. The ratio of the final module efficiency (or power) and the initial cell efficiency (or power) is called cell-to-module (CTM) ratio.
