Cell fractures are a common issue faced by solar panel manufacturers and system owners alike, before and after installation. Manufacturing defects can usually be attributed to poor quality or process control. The environmental conditions that can cause micro-cracks in solar PV systems include:
To effectively prevent solar panel micro-cracks, three key areas must be addressed: manufacturing, transportation/installation and environment (manufacturing construction). Selecting a solar panel manufacturer that acknowledges the prevention of micro-cracks is a critical part of the solution.
Solar module microcracks are emerging as an increasing, recurring issue detected by visual inspections combined with electroluminescence (EL), a new report from Clean Energy Associates (CEA) shows. The Denver-based clean energy advisory company came to this conclusion by testing samples from 16 countries over eight years.
“EL testing of more than 300,000 PV modules at 148 sites has shown that 83% of the sites had line cracks, 78% had a soldering anomaly, and 76% had complex cracks,” the report said. “The most surprising finding was the recent massive increase in microcracks.”
Micro-fractures, also known as micro-cracks, represent a form of solar cell degradation. The silicon used in the solar cells is very thin, and expands and contracts as a result of thermal cycling. During the day, the solar panels expand because of higher temperatures. Small imperfections in the silicon cell can lead to larger micro-cracks.
