Comparative investigation and analysis of delaminated and discolored encapsulant degradation in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative analysis of brown discoloration and front side grey appearing delamination of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) has been presented, to understand their basic effects and modes of degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative investigation on in-situ and laboratory standard test of the potential induced degradation of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the PID behavior of similar PV modules in both the real on-site test and the laboratory standard test conditions and found that a performance degradation happens due to different types of PV cell defects, such as localized shunting, cracks, front contact grid interruptions, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative performance analysis of grid-connected photovoltaic system by use of existing performance models
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance analysis of real world efficiency of photovoltaic installations is proven to be a challenging task, as demonstrated by the processing of data from monitoring operation of a photavoltaic park for a period of 3 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a Hot Spot Free PV Module
TL;DR: An innovative concept of PV module, not affected by hot spots, is presented, equipped with a bypass and disconnection circuit, replacing traditional diodes in the junction box and results show that the malfunctioning cell operates close to the temperature of the other cells, while in a traditional module significant overtemperature occurs.
