The partial interception of light, that would otherwise be incidental on a solar cell, due to neighbouring objects or structural elements. This can cause the cell to operate in the reverse bias mode, in which it acts as a heat-dissipating resistive element.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
