A review of relevant industry literature and research reveals that the degradation of photovoltaic systems can be attributed to several key factors, starting at the material level of the photovoltaic panels.
The degradation of PV modules is a critical concern as it directly impacts the long-term stability and economic feasibility of PV systems . Environmental factors such as high temperature, humidity, UV radiation and high-energy particle bombardment contribute to the gradual deterioration of material properties over time.
Potential induced degradation can cause the power output of a PV power plant to drop by up to 30% or more. In PV power plant design, all modules are grounded for safety purposes. Since multiple PV modules are connected in series, a large potential difference can develop between the glass surface and the module frame .
These include degradation due to long-term exposure to strong UV radiation, the effect of high-energy particles and inevitable sealing defects introduced during the manufacturing process of PV modules. The degradation of PV modules is a critical concern as it directly impacts the long-term stability and economic feasibility of PV systems .
