Contents Introduction and background -- Module environment database -- IEC 63126, high temperature modules -- Edge seal ingress -- IEC 61730 UV exposure -- Application to IEC 63209 UV -- Dew yield (total dew in a year) -- Thermal cycling solder fatigue -- Conclusions.
Summary Here we automate the process to enable the creation of world maps for specific PV durability metrics. The end goal is to create a tool for the creation of world maps predicting the sensitivity of modules to degradation to inform the development and utilization of module testing standards and to provide information to module designers. TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) Data was aggregated from sites around the world to render insight into factors contributing to the degradation of solar modules. The focus of aggregating data was to create a single dataset to work with utilizing Solar Irradiance values combined with Ambient Temperature, Relative Humidity, Wind Speed and Dew-Point Temperature.
