This review paper aims to evaluate the impact of defects on the reliability and degradation of photovoltaic (PV) modules during outdoor exposure. A comprehensive analysis of existing literature was conducted to identify the primary causes of degradation and failure modes in PV modules, with a particular focus on the effect of defects.
This review paper provides valuable insights into the effect of defects on the performance of PV modules, and critical defects occur during outdoor exposure to PV modules which depend on the type of PV technology and outdoor environment conditions and are able to mitigate the further performance of PV modules.
In conclusion, this review highlights the significant impact of defects on the reliability and degradation of PV modules during outdoor exposure. The RPN analysis can effectively identify specific defects that have the greatest influence on module performance, including dust accumulation, module shading and humidity.
There are basically three different types of thermography methods to detect failures in PV modules. The most common and easiest to apply technique is the thermography under steady state conditions. This method allows the analysis of PV modules in the field under working conditions.
The risk priority analysis is considered one of the promising approaches for identifying the severity of failure modes. The study reports shows that the inverter and ground system has a failure mode with high RPN. Table 1 summarizes various faults related to solar PV systems as reported in the literature studied. Table 1.
This literature review section gives the details about the faults considered in literature and data source used by researchers in their presented work. A thorough study on the solar PV module failure modes, associated fire risks, and failure detection methods in PV modules has been reported by Akram et al., .
