The primary objective of this research work is two-fold: (i) determine the degradation rates of Siemens-Arco M55 modules exposed over 18 and 28 years in a hot-dry climate of Arizona and a temperate climate of California, and; (ii) identify the potential modes responsible for these degradation losses. The degradation rates were determined based on the I-V data obtained on exposed modules and on the...
Photovoltaic (PV) module degradation in the field is a known issue; however, understanding the modes and mechanisms in which modules degrade is still a major undertaking for researchers. To understand the degradation modes and mechanisms, both nondestructive and destructive characterization techniques need to be employed. This paper presents the results and conclusions obtained based on a few major...
