A blocking diode prevents current from flowing in the opposite direction of the diode's orientation. It allows current to flow freely in one direction but blocks current from flowing in the opposite direction. Blocking diodes are commonly used in solar electric systems to prevent reverse currents from flowing from the solar modules into the inverter or batteries at night.
