###### Abstract
The solar tracking device, capable of adjusting the angle between the irradiation vector and solar cell plane in real time, is regarded as an effective method for improving PV energy collection [21; 22]. [PERSON] [23] designed a rotatable PV array system that tracks the sun's incident angle by rotating around the airship envelope, obtaining a daily energy output increase of over 40%. [PERSON] [24] analyzed the differences between the thermal distribution characteristics of the rotatable and the conventional PV array. The result showed that the temperatures of the improved airship are slight higher than those of the traditional airship at 04:00 to 10:00 and 14:00 to 20:00. [PERSON] [25] devised a comprehensive optimization strategy for the rotation angle and yaw angle in a real wind field. Existing research extensively discusses approaches to improve energy acquisition in airship energy systems. However, there is limited research on the impact of the PV array topology on its output capacity. [PERSON] et al. [26] conducted a study on the output performance of PV arrays under partially shaded conditions, focusing on four configurations: series-parallel (SP), bridge-link (BL), honeycomb (HC), and total cross-tied (TCT). The results indicated that, in most cases, the TCT configuration exhibited the best performance. However, in high latitude regions during winter and spring seasons, the rate of energy improvement is less than 10%. Under non-uniform irradiation conditions, \"mismatch loss\" still profoundly affects the output performance of TCT-configured photovoltaic arrays [27; 28]. Static reconfiguration is considered an effective method for mitigating mismatch loss by dispersing local shading. Extensive research has been conducted in this field, with numerous studies available, including the Su Do Ku configuration [29], Lo Shu technique [30], odd-even structure [31], and Latin square arrangement [32]. However, there is a significant lack of research specifically focused on airship PV arrays. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the issue of mismatch losses of airship PV arrays and conduct static reconfiguration optimization. This holds significant value for enhancing the power capacity and stability of the energy system. The novelty of this paper lies in the proposal of a novel reverse combination (RC) configuration. This configuration effectively addresses the mismatch loss of stratospheric airship PV arrays and enhances the output power, thereby alleviating the energy scarcity issue. The power output model for stratospheric airship PV arrays is established. The characteristics of the irradiance distribution for typical operating conditions are investigated. The principles and static reconfiguration scheme of the reverse combination configuration are introduced. A comparison is made between the proposed configuration and the classic SP and TCT configurations, considering the characteristic curves, mismatch loss power, and fill factor. Finally, a simulation of daily energy generation in a real wind field demonstrates that the RC configuration maintains the highest output power throughout the full irradiance process, effectively mitigating energy shortages during periods of weak irradiance.
