I have 2 arrays of a pool (5000 gallons) solar, each a pair of 2×20, one about at pool level 50 feet away and the other 20 feet lower on the hillside. The lower one feds into the upper one, which goes to the pool without problem. If I put in a relief valve at the highest point ...
An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. These cells are made of different semiconductor materials and are often less than the thickness of four human hairs. In order to withstand the outdoors for many years, cells are sandwiched between protective materials in a combination of glass and/or plastics.

The IV curve of a solar cell is the superposition of the IV curve of the solar cell diode in the dark with the light-generated current.1 The light has the effect of shifting the IV curve down into the fourth quadrant where power can be extracted from the diode. Illuminating a cell adds to the normal "dark" currents in the diode so that the diode law becomes:
