Methodology and systems to ensure reliable amorphous-silicon thin-film PV modules

Subhendu Guha et al, United Solar Ovonic, Michigan, USA

thin-film adhesion test coneThe reliability of United Solar Ovonic (Uni-Solar) triple-junction amorphous-silicon thin-film photovoltaic modules is critical to their success in an increasingly competitive PV market. Modules must show useful operating lifetimes of 20 to 30 years, and although module efficiency is very important, the total energy that a module will produce largely depends on its operating lifetime. Thus, module reliability must be evaluated to estimate lifetime and establish customer warranty periods.
