Abstract:
A test procedure is described in this paper that is conceived to investigate the degradation mechanism of PV modules based on different technologies. Environmental and mechanical stress factors are applied to the modules under investigation and electrical and electroluminescence characterization procedures are implemented to assess the module performance. Preliminary results are reported that refer to the application of the proposed test procedures to two sets of p-Si modules.
