This literature review section gives the details about the faults considered in literature and data source used by researchers in their presented work. A thorough study on the solar PV module failure modes, associated fire risks, and failure detection methods in PV modules has been reported by Akram et al., .
Back and front contact layers failure, failures of semiconductor layers, encapsulant failure. Faults related to string and central inverter. Errors in PV modules, cables, batteries, inverters, switching devices and protection devices are considered. The failure of the components affects the reliability of solar PV systems.
The most common PV modules are made of wafer-based silicon solar cells. Therefore a large knowledge base has been accumulated for the most PV module failures of this type. However even for this type of PV modules some effects like potential induced degradation and snail tracks have been studied in detail in the last 3 years for the first time.
The review ends by reporting common detection techniques of PV failures and degradation mechanisms. This r eview, in turn, will assist in ensuring a reliable and safe operation of PV generation and assist the PV community in minimising revenue loss. 2. Failures of the PV Module Compon ents
Köntges et al. reviewed PV failures based on their emergence in the operational life cycle. Jordan and Kurtz reviewed PV failures based on a severity scale, where Scale 1 referred to no effect on the PV system and Scale 10 referred to destructive effects on PV power that pose safety risks.
The hotspot failure mechanism is considered the most severe failure and leads to catastrophic consequences. It deteriorates all PV module components if undetected, and a PV module affected by an elevated level of hotspots cannot reverse the degradation and often requires replacement.
