Customer ServiceThe module could produce less energy if these cracks restrict the flow of current through the cell. A local hotspot may eventually form in the damaged area of the cell, which can accelerate backsheet degradation and delamination, eventually increasing the risk that ground and arc faults will occur.
This stress can result from manufacturing, transportation phase to the PV site, installation process, or heavy snow and physical damage to the modules. Optimizing these processes can reduce cell cracking; cracks during production are unavoidable. The crack issue in solar cells becomes worse as the thickness of the wafer is being reduced 5.
In the recent work by 7, 8, they have shown that solar cell cracks can not only isolate parts of the cells but also, and due to the nature of the cracks themselves, they can develop a localized increase in the temperature, resulting in what is commonly known by "solar cell hotspots". The mitigation of solar cell cracks has not been yet discovered.
This effect is usually ignored when examining solar cell cracks 31, 32, 33. Another contribution of this work is that we have presented the results of the output power degradation of two solar cell samples under the PID test. We have then correlated the power losses of the PID test results with the cracked solar cell samples.
Diferent shapes, sizes and types of cracks afect PV modules in diferent ways, although in PVEL’s lab and field testing experience, branching cracks (also known as dendritic cracks) that spread through cells as modules age in the field are usually the most destructive.
Usually, and as explained in multiple previous studies 21, 22, 23, cracks can degrade the PV output power under controlled indoor testing; these various studies, however, do not consider the influence of the size of the cracks and the correlation between the cracks and their thermal impact on the PV modules.
