Motivation, benefits, and challenges for new photovoltaic material & module developments

G. Oreski et al.

Summary: Photovoltaic module manufacturers have faced cost pressures, leading to the development of new module designs and material innovations. However, the lack of long-term understanding of the performance and reliability of these new materials has resulted in unexpected failure modes. Therefore, new accelerated test approaches are needed to assess the performance and reliability of these new materials and designs.
