Photovoltaic Module Reliability

[b]Provides practical guidance on the latest quality assurance and accelerated stress test methods for improved long-term performance prediction of PV modules[/b] This book has been written from a historical perspective to guide readers through how the PV industry learned what the failure and degradation modes of PV modules were, how accelerated tests were developed to cause the same failures and degradations in the laboratory, and then how these tests were used as tools to guide the design and fabrication of reliable and long-life modules. [i]Photovoltaic Module Reliability[/i] starts with a brief history of photovoltaics, discussing some of the different types of materi…
