Degradation of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells/Modules under Heat and Temperature Effect

Géraud Florentin Hounkpatin, Basile Bruno Kounouhéwa, Macaire Agbomahéna & Vianou Irénée Madogni · Physical Science International Journal · 2018

Temperature is extremely significant to the PV modules degradation process, especially hot spots, encapsulant bleaching, delamination failure on interconnections, corrosion, discoloration, and bubbles on the panel’s surface.  We investigated the degradation of crystalline silicon...

Effect of Dust Deposition on the Quantum Efficiency of BPS150-36 Polycrystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules during Winter Months in Pahou, Benin

Minadohona Maxime Capo-Chichi, Basile Bruno Kounouhéwa, Vianou Irénée Madogni & Macaire Agbomahéna · Advances in Research · 2018

Dust is the lesser acknowledged factor that significantly influences the performance of the PV cells/modules. We investigated analytically from optical models, the performance degradation of the BPS150-36 Polycrystalline silicon module, caused by the natural dust deposition effec...
