This paper presents the recent advances of the shading effect on the photovoltaic (PV) solar cells generation. In addition to the on-site environment which affects the performance of the PV module, the impacts of shading have important effect on the energy supply capacity. The shading effect is generally caused by inter-row configurations of the PV generator, cloudy disturbances, buildings and trees. In this paper, we investigated of different types of the PV module at different shading levels. The characteristics of the I-V acquired were assessed via the Bishop model, and the total output power of the PV module with the power losses.
