In this paper, modeling and performance analysis of conventional configurations are Series-Parallel (SP), BridgeLinked (BL), Honey-Comb (HC), Total-Cross-Tied(TCT) and proposed hybrid configurations are SP-TCT, BL-TCT, HC-TCT, BL-HC and modified BL(MBL), modified HC(MHC), proposed optimal interconnection type configurations of a 5x5 size solar PV array under ten different partial shading cases it causes shading losses and compare the best configuration with respect to array power, number of interconnections or ties required between shaded modules in the array. The proposed optimal interconnection method reduces the number of ties required between modules and these ties are based on the position of number of shaded modules in the entire solar PV array. For the performance analysis of above 11 configurations, total ten shading cases are considered and compare the result with one un-shaded case-U of an irradiance 1000 W/m2 . The PV module parameters of Vikram Solar ELDORA 270 are used for modeling of above 11 conventional and proposed PV array configurations and simulate the models in MATLAB/ Simulink software.
