Cracking Down on PV Module Design: Results from
Crack susceptibility ultimately depends on the specific components and manufacturing techniques employed in PV module production. Selecting BOMs that have undergone and performed
Diferent shapes, sizes and types of cracks afect PV modules in diferent ways, although in PVEL's lab and field testing experience, branching cracks (also known as dendritic cracks) that spread through cells as modules age in the field are usually the most destructive.
Hail, hurricanes, tornadoes and other high wind events are all known to cause glass and cell cracks in PV modules. Asset owners can mitigate the risk of cell-level damage in their fleets by investing in more robust PV modules, especially for projects in storm-prone regions.
This white paper explains the problem of cell cracks and discusses how PV module buyers, investors and asset owners can mitigate risk by investing in durable PV modules. Manufacturing defects, such as stresses during cell soldering, lamination pressures and production line handling.
Cracks in solar cells are typically so small that they cannot be detected by eye – yet they can reduce a project's energy yield and create safety issues over time. As climate change accelerates and weather patterns change, force majeure events such as wildfires, hail and other storms are more likely to afect solar power plants.
