Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | Metallization & Interconnection workshop, Konstanz, 23-24/10/2017 | Abstract: | Reliability has become increasingly important in the photovoltaic (PV) industry, mainly since it has a big influence on the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) while it embodies a lot of the risks when investing in renewable energy [1]. However, determining lifetime of a module technology is very time consuming and almost never conclusive. This is especially the case when working with novel interconnection technologies [2]. To reduce the experimental overhead when studying reliability, a finite element (FE) model containing the components most prone to failure is suggested. All assumptions used in the model must be verified by measurements. | Keywords: | Thermo-mechanical; Metallization; Reliability; PV; Photovoltaic | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/25550 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
