In simplest terms a diode can be understood as a two terminal electronic device, which allows electrical current to pass in One Direction Diodes are made of a semiconductor material, usually silicon, although materials likeselenium and germanium are sometimes used in its construction. A diode only allows. .
Diodes are extensively used in solar panel installations. Since the prevent backflow of current (unidirectional flow of current), they are used as blocking. .
Figure 2 shows the simple working of a blocking diode. Electricity flows from high potential to low potential.Figure 2: Blocking diode in solar. .
Figure 3 shows the simple working of a bypass diode. In this setup, one of the solar panel is faulty and is not producing any current.Figure 3:. For solar panels, we recommend you put one blocking diode on each solar panel, inside an ABS project box. The diode needs to have a voltage and amperage rating above that of the panel. [pdf]
