Test experience with photovoltaic (PV) modules at various experimental test facilities are detailed. Specific details are presented for site visits where electrically failed modules were found and replaced at Mead, Nebraska and Bryan, Ohio. Broken interconnects at all sites were reported and analyzed. A search for electrically failed modules at the Systems Test Facility (STF) array field was reported and analyzed. Several photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) modules were analyzed for specific defects. (LEW)
