UV-Induced Degradation Concerns in Solar Panel Performance
In 2024, testing revealed significant ultraviolet-induced degradation(UVID) in some n-type TOPCon & HJT Solar Panels, with 40% of modules losing over 5% efficiency. Research highlighted complex degradation mechanisms, suggesting solutions include improved encapsulants and better cell designs. Ongoing studies aim to understand UVID's long-term effects & potential recovery strategies for modules.
