A comprehensive physical model for the sensitivity of silicon heterojunction photovoltaic modules to water ingress
Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Olatz Arriaga Arruti, Luca Gnocchi
Silicon heterojunction (SHJ)-solar modules-when encapsulated with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)-are known to be extremely sensitive to water ingress. The reason for this is, however, not clear. Here, we explain the root causes of this degradation mechanism ...
Cambridge2024The effect of storage conditions on the long-term stability of ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) copolymer used in glass/glass modules
Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Eleonora Annigoni, Luca Gnocchi, Andrew Wayne Fairbrother
We evaluate the effect of storage conditions of uncured encapsulant rolls and the potential consequences on photovoltaic (PV) module performance. We show the impact of residual water trapped inside laminated double glass PV modules after lamination and dur ...
ELSEVIER2023Potential-induced degradation in bifacial silicon heterojunction solar modules: Insights and mitigation strategies
Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Olatz Arriaga Arruti, Luca Gnocchi
Potential-induced degradation (PID) may be a serious concern in photovoltaic (PV) modules and plants, particularly when approaching high system voltages (1500+ V). Here, we investigate PID occurring in bifacial rear-emitter silicon heterojunction (SHJ) sol ...
