Abstract:
Four cell glass-glass (GG) and glass-polymer backsheet (GB) were evaluated by Field Accelerated Stress Testing (FAST) at Arizona. Ten modules comprised of EVA and POE encapsulants were placed outdoors with two different insulation conditions – no insulation and two-inch foam insulation. Temperatures of the modules were monitored from March 2020 to February 2021 were analyzed. Non-destructive module level characterization techniques including ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF) imaging and electroluminescence (EL) imaging were performed on the front side of the modules to determine to identify the failure modes.
