Power losses depend on the strength of the electric field, the temperature and relative humidity, and the PV module materials. Potential-induced degradation (PID) of photovoltaic (PV) modules is one of the most severe types of degradation in modern modules.
However, the integrity of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells can degrade over time, necessitating non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT-NDE) for quality control during production and in-service inspection. Hyperspectral (HS) imaging has emerged as a promising technique for defect identification in PV cells based on their spectral signatures.
This failure results in short circuited PV cells or open circuited PV cells and an increase in resistance. Module shading occurs due to external factors. The shaded cells heat up and lead to hotspot formation. This may result in irreversible damage to the cell. Module shading (hard & soft).
One of the leading causes of PV module degradation is Potential Induced Degradation (PID). This occurs due to the high voltage between the encapsulants and the front glass surface, which is grounded via the substructure of the cell or the frame.
The defects generated during manufacturing phase grow with the passage of time as the PV module is subjected to various kinds of thermo-mechanical loads during subsequent stages of life . The transportation of modules, handling, and installation might become a source of mechanical loads and produce some defects .
