Corrosion testing of solar cells: Wear-out degradation behavior

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Andrew Wayne Fairbrother, Luca Gnocchi

Corrosion is one of the main end-of-life degradation and failure modes in photovoltaic (PV) modules. However, it is a gradual process and can take many years to become a major risk factor because of the slow accumulation of water and acetic acid (from enca ...
