Abstract :
This paper illustrates and discusses some specific aspects concerning the harmonic distortion occurring in the operation of photovoltaic (PV) plants. The time evolution of the individual, total and partially weighted harmonic distortion is evaluated for a multistring PV plant and for a sun-shield installation affected by the consequences of the shading effect in the morning hours of the day
