You have 6 PV panels that each have the same I-V curve (ISC = 5.5 A, VOC = 45 V).  (a) How many connection configurations that use all 6 panels are possible? Draw  each one.  (b) Draw the I-V curves for each of the configurations on one graph. You may draw  the curves by hand or use a software of your choice. Clearly label each curve.  (c) Assume you are to power a 2.5 Ω load with the panels. Knowing that dimmer  sunlight reduces the current output of the cells but not the output voltage, what  configuration would be best if you were to build it? Explain your answer.
