Testing the performance of a single REC TwinPeak Series In order to assess the behavior of the new design in shaded conditions,tests were performed on the REC TwinPeak Series under different levels of shading to measure the effect on energy production. By taking the IV trace of the modules under the different amounts of shade coverage,the cell strings could be monitored and measured (fig. 2):
