Degradation of photovoltaic (PV) modules is preferably caused by several factors such as potential induced degradation (PID), bypass diode failures in short circuit conditions, high light-induced degradation (LID), hotspots/ shaded cells, and cracked cells.
Authors to whom correspondence should be addressed. The degradation of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules is caused by a number of factors that have an impact on their effectiveness, performance, and lifetime. One of the reasons contributing to the decline in solar PV performance is the aging issue.
A fundamental aspect of a PV cell’s deterioration is material degradation or internal degradation, which may not be visible to the naked eye but affects solar PV’s performance. The deterioration of solar cells is brought on by the reduction in the semiconductor band gap that occurs at increased ambient temperatures .
The degradation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the key factors to address in order to reduce the cost of the electricity produced by increasing the operational lifetime of PV systems. To reduce the degradation, it is imperative to know the degradation and failure phenomena.
Utilizing solar PV to generate energy is not a simple operation due to degradation, which can result in a reduction in solar PV performance and efficiency [1, 2]. According to recent studies, the rate of degradation varies between 0.6% and 0.7% per year [3, 4].
There are several factors that can contribute to the linear degradation of PV modules. One of the most significant factors is exposure to sunlight, which can cause the gradual breakdown of the materials used in the PV module.
