What is the lifetime of a PV module?

Therefore, in the manufacturers’ context, the lifetime of a PV module is often defined as the time required for a PV module to lose its initial STC power by 20% (so-called degradation limit) . For outdoor degradation evaluations, statistical methods are commonly used.

How to predict the service lifetime of PV modules?

To evaluate and predict the service lifetime of PV modules in real-world operating conditions, mathematical approaches are usually utilized , , . Physical and statistical methods have been commonly used and recently machine learning approaches are being applied.

What is the end-of-life of a PV module?

An overview of potential module failures, influencing factors and effects can be found in a previous report of IEA PVPS Task 13 . End-of-life is defined differently for PV modules, depending on the specific context or issue. The end-of-life is typically dependent on the use of the PV module and the specific conditions of the PV power plant.

Are service lifetime and degradation models suitable for PV modules?

The latest scientific work shows that service lifetime and degradation models for PV modules are of specific use if they combine different modelling approaches and include know-how and modelling parameters of the most relevant degradation effects.

Can solar PV modules be tested for outdoor life-time prediction?

Testing of PV modules has generally been unrepresentative and insufficient for outdoor life-time prediction. Light produces various light-induced degradation (LID) effects, including those associated with bill of material (BoM) complexes, metallic impurities, and hydrogen.

When does a PV system end-of-life?

Depending on the economic situation of a specific PV system, the end-of-life can be reached due to changing contractual conditions (e.g., changing electricity prices) or if it comes eco-nomically attractive to replace PV modules by new ones with higher efficiency.
