UV degradation

Greater awareness of UV light used to test solar cells could result in faster, more efficient assessments of long-term performance.

Kiwa PVEL examines the ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID) results on n-type technology from its latest PV Module Reliability Scorecard.

Concerns over the performance of TOPCon solar cells following UV exposure may be exaggerated, according to research by Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).
