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.
Corrosion is a critical issue that can significantly impact the performance and lifespan of solar cells, affecting their efficiency and reliability. Understanding the complex relationship between corrosion and solar cell technologies is essential for developing effective strategies to mitigate corrosion-related challenges.
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 encapsulant ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) degradation).
The corrosion mechanisms in silicon solar cells as in Fig. 2, are a critical concern as they can significantly impact the performance and longevity of the cells. One of the key mechanisms involves the penetration of H 2 O (water) and O 2 (oxygen) through the backsheet or frame edges of the solar cell.
Moisture-induced corrosion is a significant concern for solar cells, particularly those installed in humid or coastal regions. The presence of moisture, combined with oxygen and contaminants, can initiate corrosive reactions on the surfaces of solar cell components .
By choosing materials with high inherent corrosion resistance, the vulnerability of solar cell components to corrosion can be significantly reduced . For metallic components, selecting corrosion-resistant metals or alloys, such as stainless steel or corrosion-resistant coatings, can enhance their longevity and performance.
