Five thin film photovoltaic modules were deployed outdoors under open circuit conditions after a thorough indoor evaluation. Two technology types were investigated: amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS). Two 14 W a-Si:H modules, labelled Si-1 and Si-2, were investiga

Thin-film photovoltaic modules, deployed world-wide in various applications, experience considerably different levels of environmental and electrical stresses. Test techniques, combining both accelerated and realtime laboratory and outdoor field tests, have been used to develop a proposed qualificat
A number of important degradation mechanisms that determine the life of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules are driven by voltages and currents, either internal to the module, or between the module and its external mounting environment. Two important mechanisms are electromigration and electrochemic
