Moisture-related degradation issues were due to the sensitivity of current from metalisation pastes, which could be mitigated in future module generations.</p> <p>The combined test sequence of UV/HF showed a “W-pattern” of significant degradation, which was followed by partial recovery, wrote the study’s authors. Other investigations showed that the degradation was influenced by the mode of operation – short or open circuit – whereas recovery was influenced by temperature, current injection and most likely light soaking, although further testing work is being completed on this latter factor.</p> <p>“During UV exposure, a novel degradation pattern was observed during the indoor tests, showing severe losses (up to -12% after 120 kWh/m<sup>2</sup>), followed by recovery after humidity freeze testing, which may influence outdoor performance and the outcomes of certification tests (IEC 61730-2, Sequence B),” wrote the authors of the study.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="370" src="https://www.pv-tech.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Chart-of-module-degradation-after-UV-HF-test-sequence-1024x370.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-146612" srcset="https://www.pv-tech.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Chart-of-module-degradation-after-UV-HF-test-sequence-1024x370.jpg 1024w, https://www.pv-tech.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Chart-of-module-degradation-after-UV-HF-test-sequence-300x109.jpg 300w, https://www.pv-tech.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Chart-of-module-degradation-after-UV-HF-test-sequence-768x278.jpg 768w, https://www.pv-tech.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Chart-of-module-degradation-after-UV-HF-test-sequence.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Degradation relative to initial during combined UV/HF test sequence: <em>P</em><sub>MPP</sub> (left) and <em>V</em><sub>OC</sub> (right).

Chart: Fraunhofer ISE.</figcaption></figure> <p>Despite that critical degradation effect, the study showed that TOPCon cell technology performed better than passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) in terms of efficiency, bifaciality and temperature coefficient. Similar to more recent PERC generations, TOPCon modules have not shown increased sensitivity towards light- and potential-induced degredation, or LeTID.</p> <p>In a guest blog published earlier this year on <em>PV Tech</em>, George Touloupas, senior director at the Clean Energy Associates (CEA) and Brian Hansen, director of supply chain at CEA, wrote about some of the <a href="https://www.pv-tech.org/cea-on-perc-and-topcon-solar-technology/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">technological differences between PERC and TOPCon technology</a>.</p> <p>To celebrate its tenth anniversary this year, <em><a href="https://www.pv-tech.org/pv-tech-power/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PV Tech Power</a></em> revisited an article it covered in the first issue relating to PV module quality and how, a decade and a shift from p-type to n-type technology later, the industry was doing in that aspect. The <a href="https://www.pv-tech.org/testing-times/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">article can be read online here</a> (Premium access).</p> <p>“We recommend conducting focused tests on specific module types (tailored to the BOM if possible), emphasising DH, potential-induced degradation, UV and mechanical load, before purchasing substantial quantities of TOPCon modules from the current market. Due to the relative recent appearance of TOPCon-based modules on the market, we expect the reliability characteristics to change and improve during the next months, which could also change the best practice for qualification testing,” concluded the study.</p> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-8db6a52 elementor-align-center elementor-widget
