Assessment of Thermo-Mechanical Failures of Photovoltaic Module components for Improved Reliability
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical Engineering - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Although the production and utilization of photovoltaic (PV) modules continue to grow monotonically, the longterm reliability of these modules still remains a concern due to untimely failure. The breakdown of the module is induced by thermo-mechanical fatigue loading caused by temperature cycling as well as transients associated with passing clouds. This paper evaluates the failure mechanism of PV module assembly in operation with a particular focus on the assessment of the mechanics of failure of its integral components.
