Moving to a Higher Level for PV Reliability through Comprehensive Standards Based on Solid Science (Presentation): NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)

Research output: NRELPresentation

Abstract

PV reliability is a challenging topic because of the desired long life of PV modules, the diversity of use environments and the pressure on companies to rapidly reduce their costs. This presentation describes the challenges, examples of failure mechanisms that we know or don't know how to test for, and how a scientific approach is being used to establish international standards.
