By contrast, the use of too high soldering temperature or long holding time introduces excessive heat toward the wafer and then causes breakage in the solar cells . Electroluminescence (EL) imaging technique is a method to visualize crack and some other defects in the photovoltaic modules . ... ...
When the soldering temperature is too low or the holding time is too short, weak adhesion can be evidenced due to the lack of bonding and thus result in the delamination between ribbon and silicon wafer accordingly.
PV modules are degraded by various mechanisms such as corrosion by acetic acid 1,2) and delamination 3, 4) of electrodes, which are mostly induced by chemical reactions and mechanical stress. Potential-induced degradation (PID) is also another degradation phenomenon in PV modules. ... ...
Future Photovoltaic is being increasingly forced to reduce costs and increase module power by constant or better module reliability . So over the last years a radical decrease of module prices is observed on the contrary the module power changes to higher classes.
During the cooling stage of soldering process, a metallic phase is solidified and formed in the contact region, where the crystallization continues growing towards the un-solidified solder and an intermetallic compound (IMC) is later formed at the interfaces of copper/solder and solder/metallization as shown in Fig. 2 .
Potential-induced degradation (PID) is also another degradation phenomenon in PV modules. ... ... The CNT coating must be bonded properly on the tip of the cathode in order to resist the strains from the high voltage application.
