This requires a high level of “resiliency” defined as theability to overcome and rise above adversity and difficult situations.

that shading can not only inhibit the performance of the array, butcan cause power to be absorbed into shaded panels from non-shaded panels. The phenomenontermed hot-spot can occur when an imperfection in materials, flaws in fabrication, partial shadingor some form of damage to the panel(s) has occurred (Pandian, 2016).An important factor in the absorption of irradiance by PV panels is the state in which the solarfaced glass surface is maintained. Regular cleaning intervals are recommended and are usuallydetermined by both physical and geographic location of the array. Partial shading of PV panelsby foliage may exacerbate poorer performance due to organic material adhering to the glass suchas leaf debris, sap, or pollen. Airborne contaminants
