Keywords: photovoltaic cell, current-voltage characteristic, volt-watt characteristic, breakdown, degradation, resettable fuse. Recently, much attention has been paid to the study of the influence of current overloads and local overheating on the degradation of the electrical characteristics of the photovoltaic components of solar arrays. First of all, it is connected with the tasks of increasing the reliability and durability of the operation of such renewable sources of electrical energy. Such studies are of particular interest due to the recent emergence of new methods and devices for improving the reliability of solar arrays by isolating inactive (defective or shaded) areas of their photovoltaic components (photovoltaic cells and photovoltaic modules).
