Spotlight: Stephanie Moffitt''s Search for the Causes of Solar Panel ...

Solar panels face attack on all sides, so NIST researchers are coming to their defense and studying the causes of failures. Large fields of solar panels generate a lot of electricity, so much so that stringing them together causes a leakage of energy that can put the equipment itself in danger. The leakage pulls sodium out of the glass and into ...

Solar Panel Degradation: What Is It and Why Should You Care?

The main cause for solar panel degradation due to back-sheet failure is the delamination of the backsheet or the formation of cracks in the material. When the backsheet fails, the inner components of solar panels are exposed to external agents, and the lifespan of PV modules is reduced.

Solar Panel Failures

Solar panel failures are exceedingly rare. Most people worry about their solar panel putting out less power over time, which is called degradation. That''s a relatively difficult thing to diagnose and hard to prove. However, bypass diode failures in solar panels are relatively easy to spot and diagnose using monitoring systems.
