Technical FAQs 4

How do glass defects affect a PV system?

Glass defects impact the economic performance of a PV system in multiple ways. The most obvious effect is the potential (in)direct performance loss of PV modules, which results in reduced economic revenues. Secondly, PV modules that suffer from glass defects may no longer meet safety requirements, therefore these modules are replaced.

Do glass-glass PV modules show defects?

The as-received glass-glass PV modules did not show any visible deficiencies and were used as reference during the test series. After the initial tests, the glass defect PV modules were divided into two subgroups: repaired specimen and non-repaired specimen.

Does weathering damage glass PV modules?

In glass-glass PV modules the interlayer is often Polyolefin Elastomer (POE) encapsulant. Subsequent weathering of the encapsulant, such as the ingress of moisture, may decrease the strength of defected glass PV modules. This will reduce the lifetime of the module and cause corrosion of internal components [ 20 ].

Does backsheet encapsulant affect damp-heat resilience of single-glass photovoltaic modules?

Meanwhile, single-glass (SG) photovoltaic modules conventionally employ polymer-based backsheets that exhibit elevated water vapour transmission rates. This study presents a systematic analysis of the effects of backsheet, metallic paste, encapsulant, and cell spacing on the damp-heat (DH) resilience of SG modules.
