6 FAQs about [Solar photovoltaic power generation service life]
Are service lifetime and degradation models suitable for PV modules?
The latest scientific work shows that service lifetime and degradation models for PV modules are of specific use if they combine different modelling approaches and include know-how and modelling parameters of the most relevant degradation effects.
Do integrated PV modules have a longer service life?
Whether or not building integrated PV modules have a longer service life is uncertain. A service life of 30 years is recommended due to this uncertainty and for the sake of comparability with other PV systems Manufacturing plants (capital equipment): The lifetime may be shorter than 30 years due to the rapid development of technology.
What is the lifetime of a PV module?
Therefore, in the manufacturers’ context, the lifetime of a PV module is often defined as the time required for a PV module to lose its initial STC power by 20% (so-called degradation limit) . For outdoor degradation evaluations, statistical methods are commonly used.
Why do we need reliable service lifetime prediction of PV modules & components?
For example, reliable service lifetime predictions aid: PV module and components manu-facturers to provide more realistic warranties, PV project investors to make good financial decisions, and consumers to increase their trust in PV energy. More reliable service lifetime prediction of PV modules and components is still quite a challenge.
What is the end-of-life of a PV module?
An overview of potential module failures, influencing factors and effects can be found in a previous report of IEA PVPS Task 13 . End-of-life is defined differently for PV modules, depending on the specific context or issue. The end-of-life is typically dependent on the use of the PV module and the specific conditions of the PV power plant.
How do we predict the life of PV modules?
This methodology involves predicting the life of PV modules through the modelling of degradation as a function of impacting environmental and operational stressors . Such calculations require adapted mathematical models which are able to include all relevant stressors and also specific parameters of the specific module type.
