Hi Corey, I recently commissioned a large system and saw something very similar. Is it possible that there is a minor amount of shading on those modules? Maybe weeds growing up or powerlines? When I had noticed that cell pattern, it took a little bit to realize that there were powerlines just south

Corey I consulted and did some independent tests with a module manufacturer who had some modules with low Power output and curve traces similar to yours. They however could detect no abnormal cracks in the modules with EL testing. I also detected no issues on the thermal image at no or low power,

I've checked several PV modules under load in past years and they all seem to do this. Just cell mis-match I was guessing. boB On 5/17/2018 3:19 PM, Corey Shalanski wrote: On a recent utility-scale PV installation we noticed a strange phenomenon on a single string on a single inverter. An
