In photovoltaic systems, which outcome occurs when reverse current exceeds diode capacity?

💡 Explanation

Reverse current exceeding diode limits causes module hot-spot breakdown because reverse recovery exceeds normal blocking; therefore, localized overheating damages the solar cell, rather than improving efficiency which requires forward bias.
