Accelerated corrosion test for solar cells is developed, improving upon damp heat. Rate of power loss dependent on concentration, temperature, bias, and technology. Cell interconnect solder joint most susceptible to corrosion by acid. Corrosion is one of the main end-of-life degradation and failure modes in photovoltaic (PV) modules.
Apart from these methods, lithography, screen printing, and roll-to-roll methods have been used in a few applications. However, the high temperature applied to the coatings on solar cells disrupts the PV properties of the solar cells. The purpose of the application of the heat is to ensure that the coating adheres to the surface.
Solar panel parameters like short circuit current (I sc), open circuit voltage (V oc), fill factor (FF), and efficiency can be determined from the dark I-V curves. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed coating, indoor and outdoor self-cleaning tests have been conducted.
These coatings act as a barrier, protecting the underlying materials from direct contact with moisture and corrosive substances. Organic coatings, such as anti-reflective coatings, are commonly used to enhance corrosion resistance and improve the overall performance of c-Si solar cells .
This loss can be mitigated by the use of anti-reflection coatings, which now cover over 90% of commercial modules. This review looks at the field of anti-reflection coatings for solar modules, from single layers to multilayer structures, and alternatives such as glass texturing.
Moreover, there is a rapidly expanding variety of materials, processes, and designs used in solar cell, passivation, metallization, and interconnection technologies. Thus, an accelerated acid corrosion test to probe wear-out degradation behavior has great relevance to module development.
