An international team of researchers has performed a quantitative power-loss assessment of PV modules affected by type-C cracks using electroluminescence (EL) imaging. “This research applies ...
Soiling-related losses are among the most serious threats to PV performance, according to Tomas Cebecauer and Vicente Lara-Fanego.
The system enables measurements under controlled irradiance, spectrum, and temperature conditions. It can combine 0.4% spatial irradiance uniformity, 500 ms illumination pulses, and dynamic I-V ...
Scientists and researchers at NREL, including Timothy Silverman and Elizabeth Palmiotti, are investigating early failure in dual-glass PV modules. Image: Agata Bogucka, NREL. Dual-glass PV modules are ...
