Commonly observed degradation in field-aged photovoltaic modules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define observed degradation in field-aged photovoltaic modules, including degradation of packaging materials, adhesional loss, degradation of interconnects, degradation due to moisture intrusion, and semiconductor device degradation, and suggest that the onset and progression of degradation need to be studied to gain a more comprehensive understanding of module degradation rates and module failures.

Determination of the degradation constant of bulk heterojunction solar cells by accelerated lifetime measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the short circuit current under white light illumination was monitored over time for different temperatures, ranging from 40 °C to 105 °C, and an Arrhenius type dependence of the degradation constant with temperature was observed and an activation energy of ∼350 meV was derived.
