FAQS 4
What is a dark cell pattern in a PV module?
Dark cell patterns (especially around the edge of the module) indicate the presence of MID products such as metal oxides and acetates [12, 14, 19, 30]. In addition, most of the darker cells are located nearer to the perimeter of the PV module.
Why are solar cells dark around the edge of a solar module?
From Fig. 6b, it can be seen that the majority of the solar cells around the edge of the module are darker than those in the middle of the module. Dark cell patterns (especially around the edge of the module) indicate the presence of MID products such as metal oxides and acetates [12, 14, 19, 30].
How do dark cells affect PV panels?
Shunt: Dark cells form small shunts, causing reduced current and power losses. Layer creases: Multiple-layer creases in PV panels cause significant losses by obstructing light, creating micro-shading, and disrupting current flow. They lead to hotspots, material degradation, and moisture ingress.
How are electronic properties of a cell measured in dark conditions?
The electronic properties of the cell are measured in dark conditions. In order to describe its electronics properties, the standard 2-diodes behaviour is used. A nonlinear least squares approach to extract the cell parameters from the dark current-voltage (I-V) characteristics is described.
