Title: Understanding the Temperature and Humidity Environment Inside a PV Module (Presentation)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1086357

This presentation addresses moisture-driven degradation processes in PV modules and the conditions to use for accelerated stress testing. Here we show that by choosing humidity conditions that more closely match the use environment, one can minimize the uncertainty associated with moisture induced degradation modes.
