Potential Induced Degradation in Photovoltaic Modules: A Review of the Latest Research and Developments

Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) technology plays a crucial role in the transition towards a low-carbon energy system, but the potential-induced degradation (PID) phenomenon can significantly impact the performance and lifespan of PV modules. PID occurs when a high voltage potential difference exists between the module and ground, leading to ion migration and the formation of conductive paths. This results in reduced power output and poses a challenge for PV systems. Research and development efforts have focused on the use o… Show more

“…Secondly, PV cracks can create an electrical short circuit, leading to an increase in electrical current flow and subsequent hotspot formation. Lastly, PV cracks can lead to a decrease in power output, which in turn can cause an increase in temperature and thence to hotspot formation [21]. The presence of cracks in solar cells can contribute to the development of photovoltaic (PV) hotspots due to several factors.…”
