Photovoltaic Modules: Technology and Reliability provides unique
insights into concepts, material design strategies, manufacturing
techniques, quality and service life analysis of wafer-based
photovoltaic modules. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the
authors focus on two main topics. Part I - Crystalline Silicone
Module Technology offers photovoltaics fundamentals: solar cell
properties, module design, materials and production, basic module
characterization, module power as well as efficiency and module
performance. Part II, on the other hand, illustrates the
state-of-the-art of module reliability by characterization of
modules and degradation effects, examination of PV-Module loads,
accelerated aging tests as well as reliability testing of materials
and modules. A separate chapter is dedicated to PV module and
component certification.
