The solar cells close to the frame exhibit a lower temperature than the solar cells located in the middle of the module. Because PID-free solar cells in the PID-affected solar module have a larger dark resistance, the voltage drop of PID-free solar cells is more than that of bad cells under dark conditions.

Illuminating a cell adds to the normal "dark" currents in the diode so that the diode law becomes:
