摘要： Systems and methods of generating electrical current from at least one photovoltaic cell are described herein. In some embodiments, a dual-cell arrangement of photovoltaic cells may be disposed on a face. Equal parts of a first photovoltaic cell and a second photovoltaic cell may be disposed on the face such that when a portion of the face is shaded, the first photovoltaic cell and the second photovoltaic cell receive substantially equal amounts of electromagnetic radiation. In some embodiments, the first photovoltaic cell and the second photovoltaic cell comprises a plurality of sub-cell connected in series and parallel to optimize the power output form the partially exposed cells.
