This paper presents a defect analysis and performance evaluation of photovoltaic (PV) modules using quantitative electroluminescence imaging (EL). The study analyzed three common PV technologies: thin-film, monocrystalline silicon, and polycrystalline silicon.
The long-term performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules declines over time, influenced by environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and shading, which pose operational challenges. Quantifying this long-term degradation is crucial for predicting the return on investment of PV systems.
Analysis results using EL imaging of polycrystalline PV panels. Thermal expansion: When the solar panel operates under prolonged sunlight exposure, the metal components expand and contract due to thermal cycling.
Analysis results using EL imaging of polycrystalline PV panels. These environmental and structural factors collectively diminish the overall efficiency of the system. Performance indicators such as FF, Voc, and degradation rate are directly impacted by these defects.
