Outdoor Monitoring Of A-Si:H Thin Film Photovoltaic Modules In Hot And Humid Climate Of Florida

Keywords

Abstract

Outdoor monitoring of glass to glass a-Si:H thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules by a US manufacturer is carried out in the hot and humid climate of Florida. The modules are monitored under fixed load conditions. Moreover, periodic current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are carried out to validate the performance of PV modules. The data was normalized at standard conditions and compared over a three year period. Two of the modules are biased to ±600 V to study the leakage current. An extensive study of this nature needs to be carried out for prolonged period to accurately predict the useful lifetime of PV modules.
