Electroluminescence (EL) imaging is a prominent tool for obtaining qualitative and
quantitative information of defects and degradations in a crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV module …

Shunts in solar cells significantly affect their performance and reliability, potentially leading
to hotspot generation and long-term module failure. Investigating shunts is essential for …

Abstract Traditional Glass-Backsheet (GB) photovoltaic (PV) modules have been the
industry standard for a long time, but the Glass-Glass (GG) modules are quickly rising in …

Renewable energy, particularly solar energy, has experienced remarkable growth in recent
years. However, the integrity of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells can degrade over time …

Photovoltaic (PV) module experiences multiple cell defects and degradation in a field
operation, which significantly reduces module output. Hence, quantitative assessment of a …

Under tropical conditions, an increase in solar irradiance abruptly increases the operating
temperature of a Photovoltaic (PV) module. This, in turn, deteriorates the electric power …

The potential-induced degradation shunting (PID-s) is a severe degradation mechanism that
shows a significant drop in a module power in a very short duration. Hence, timely …

Potential-induced degradation-shunting (PID-s) is a severe degradation mechanism in
photovoltaic (PV) cells that significantly impacts module performance. Regular monitoring …

In pursuit of increased efficiency and longer operating times of photovoltaic systems, one
