Wet leakage resistance development of modules with various backsheet types

Claudia Buerhop et al.

Summary: The research identified the risk of water ingress in different backsheets and its impact on inverter shutdowns. It found that polyamide-based backsheets demonstrated more stable leakage resistance, while fluorinated coating-based backsheets showed a rapid decline in leakage resistance after 6 years of operation. The study also highlighted the varying effects of humidity and temperature on the behavior of the leakage resistance, indicating potential for more severe problems with longer operating times.

Distinguishing between different types of multi-layered PET-based backsheets of PV modules with near-infrared spectroscopy

Oleksandr Stroyuk et al.

Summary: This study introduces a method for structural identification of PET-based backsheets using NIRA spectroscopy, which is validated through principal component analysis of a database of different types of BSs. The method allows accurate identification of BSs with unknown structures and is feasible for field deployment. Further automation of NIRA measurements and spectral analysis is expected to elevate this tool to a non-intrusive high-throughput analysis of backsheets in operating PV module grids.

Defects and performance of Si PV modules in the field - an analysis

J. Denz et al.

Summary: Photovoltaic modules are robust in outdoor operation, with about 1 in 250 modules failing completely each year. However, about 1 in 10 modules will develop a defect resulting in power loss, and almost every module will develop visually perceivable alterations. There is no indication of dramatic changes in future performance, but more information and reporting guidelines are needed.
