Moreover, shadows cast by surroundings are often disregarded in similar studies, except in the analysis of multi-array PV plants. In this regard, the model chain for irradiance-to-power conversion described in Mayer and Yang [21] incorporates a post-processing model that calculates inter-row shading based on sun position and PV module geometry. This approach
