If you "hard" shade a portion of a panel the diodes will conduct. The diodes will not conduct from "soft" shade. A tree some 20 meters away will create soft shade. Your TV antenna will create hard shade.
OK so what do you lose when the diodes conduct? It would seem that would be the maximum loss. Yes you would lose all power added from the covered panel but I would like to quantify how much is lost or held back from the others in series to push the power through the diodes.
