I want to know what cell has reduced output, that is the key to the project. Although not feasible in a real life situation, its the idea that I did the research to find out why. So yea I want to find out which solar cell is not outputting and short it out with an automated circuit that is...

I am aware of that. That's for making it more clear though. This is one of the points I would like to make with my presentation so any extra is great, thanks.

Understood and voltage in parallel would be very easy to measure and then outputing to some other device like a comparator circuit with transistor and relay to short out circuit or keep it in the circuit. BUT as I just tested to double check, I am working with low amperage (150-200mA) low...

The entire point of the project is to add up as many solar cells function or are not shaded so that essentially a solar panel with many cells would output as much voltage as possile. The block diagram is below, the sensor measures the current, theoretically if the voltage out from the current...

I'm working on a project for class. The project requires a certain level of difficulty. The idea: A system that would theoretically monitor the current through EACH solar cell in a Photovoltaic panel to ensure it wasn't shaded or defective.(For those that don't know, when a solar panel is...
