A comprehensive Review on interfacial delamination in photovoltaic modules

Potential-induced degradation: a challenge in the commercialization of perovskite solar cells

“…However, Na + ions and moisture ingress together will cause irreversible electrochemical degradation of the tin oxide (SnO 2 )-based TCO coating. 16,17,61,114,[119][120][121] Consequently, the adhesion between TCO and the substrate is disrupted. Na serves as a reactant and its accumulation intensifies the mechanical stress at the respective interface.…”

Recent developments of polymer-based encapsulants and backsheets for stable and high-performance silicon photovoltaic modules: materials nanoarchitectonics and mechanisms

“…The backsheet, which uses PET as a core layer, is laminated using an adhesive layer (epoxy or polyurethane) between layers. 43 For the air-facing and cell-facing layers, either the fluoropolymer polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) or polyvinyl difluoride (PVDF) is typically used commercially. Their main purpose is to increase the UV resistance of the core layer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET).…”

Mechanical Analysis of the Quasi-Static and Dynamic Composite Action in PV Modules with Viscoelastic Encapsulant

“…In doing so, it is important to note that thermal boundaries have certain major effects in terms of solar cell faults (i.e., hot-spotting, etc. [ 16 ]), but also implicit effects on the mechanical response of the sandwich section [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. In this regard, an increasing number of studies have addressed the long-term power loss and functionality degradation of PV modules [ 22 , 23 ].…”
