Forward-Biased Thermal Cycling: A New Module Qualification Test

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Following a proposal by BP Solarex to modify the standard module qualification sequence, we performed a forward-biased themal cycling on three types of commercial modules to evaluate the procedure. The total number of thermal cycles was doubled to 400 and maximum power measurements were made every 50 cycles.
