Table 1
The comparison between PAR and EAR.
| Type | Advantages | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
| PAR | Does not require any sensors' reconfiguration algorithm or switching matrix, in opposition to the dynamic technique case [17]. Past method, the first column of the reconfigurable patterns remains unaltered [17]. |
The location of the modules in the TCT network is changed according to the skyscraper model in one go for all shadings [16]. This method requires more wiring; this would increase the voltage drop in the PV systems [16]. Shading effects cannot be spread uniformly across every row [16]. |
| EAR | Flexibility Dynamically controllable |
The cost increases with a dynamic technique [17]. The configuration becomes complex [17]. The reconfiguration algorithm is complex [18]. |
