Abstract

This paper presents the main results of COST Action PEARL PV, aiming at finding connections between the observed performance of monitored PV systems and degradation causes and failure modes according to literature with a focus on the most dominant technology among installed PV modules, namely silicon PV. It is found that there there exists a great potential for performance improvements, though in practice it is difficult to identify exact causes for failure and underperformance.

Understanding of degradation and failure of silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules that have been installed in the field, is one of the key factors to enhance the lifetime of PV systems and, hence, reduce the cost of PV electricity produced. Hereby the basic assumption is that better insights about energy performance, degradation and failure modes can lead to mitigation of causes of less than expected operational lifetime of PV systems. Hence, improving the energy performance and reliability of PV systems has been the focal point of research in COST Action PEARL PV [1] (2017-2022). This project, funded by the COST programme of the European Commission, has been executed by hundreds of PV system experts from 40 countries, which has resulted in a database with monitoring data of thousands of PV systems, see Figure 1, as well as numerous publications among which 40 in journals [2].
