Hello mates. I am new here and have some beginner level experience with solar panels. I have asked this question about bypass diodes placement from some installers but they have no idea about it. Apparently, installers do not place bypass diodes in their installations but I heard that bypass diodes can bypass an entire solar module, if it becomes shaded (I am talking about modules connected in series). I attach a picture for your consideration showing 6 solar modules wired in series.
Where the bypass diodes need to be placed and in which direction? Let's assume each panel is 45 volts at 17 amps. It would help in understanding if you can extend this picture by showing the placement of bypass diodes (20 or 30 amps each) and their direction. The goal is to bypass the entire module in the event of partial shading because otherwise it would shut down the whole system. I intend to run load without battery through inverter. I understand that upon clouds, inverter will shut down the load but I want to deal with partial or full shading of a module(s).
