Electroluminescence (EL) imaging of Si-based photovoltaic (PV) modules is used widely to
spatially detect and characterize electrical defects, including handling and degradation …

Polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules have the advantage of lower
manufacturing cost as compared to their monocrystalline counterparts, but generally exhibit …

Thin-film solar cells normally have the shortest energy payback time due to their simpler
mass-production process compared to polycrystalline-Si photovoltaic (PV) modules, despite …

It is well known that the efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) module is strongly impacted by its
temperature such that higher temperatures lead to lower energy conversion efficiencies. An …

Quantification of the effect of temperature on photovoltaic (PV) module efficiency is vital to
the correct interpretation of PV module performance under varied environmental conditions …
