Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and orientational distribution of cracks in crystalline photovoltaic modules generated by mechanical load tests
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a statistical analysis on the crack formation in 27 crystalline silicon PV modules caused by a standard mechanical load test according to IEC 61215 10.16.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unified methodology for determining CTM ratios: Systematic prediction of module power☆
TL;DR: In this article, a unified methodology for predicting module power and efficiency from material and geometry data for several cell, interconnection and module designs is presented, which consists of analyzing photovoltaic inactive module areas, optical effects such as reflection, absorption and electrical losses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of the voltage distribution in photovoltaic modules by electroluminescence imaging
TL;DR: In this article, an approach to determine the operating voltage of individual solar cells in photovoltaic (PV) modules by electroluminescence (EL) imaging was introduced.
Book ChapterDOI
Thermal Stress and Strain of Solar Cells in Photovoltaic Modules
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the thermomechanical stresses by performing a Finite-Element analysis of a 60 cell module during thermal cycling, and they find that the solar cells are under high compressive stress of up to 76 MPa as they are sandwiched between the stiff front glass and the strongly contracting plastic back sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-wire interconnection of busbar-free solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the interconnection of busbar-free solar cells by infrared soldering and the optimization of the front metallization design in order to achieve reliable solder joints.
