Cracks on solar panel backsheets in straight lines, along the gaps between solar cells. Scientist at the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology claim to have shed more light on the root causes of backsheet degradation in solar panels.
Novel PV module architecture to replace delaminated encapsulant layer can be designed. However, such module architecture would require careful disassembling of the complete module structure such as aluminium frame, junction box, glass, and backsheet layer to remove delaminated encapsulant.
Gambogi et al. have observed delamination in the outer layer of the PET and PVF-based backsheet in the vicinity of interconnect ribbon in PV modules within five years of operation under external environmental conditions as shown in Fig. 15 (a).
The results showed that 100 % delamination over the cell surface can lead to up to 36 % loss in P max in a solar cell, which can cause significant mismatch losses at the module level. Further, delamination can catalyse other degradation modes by providing paths for moisture ingression.
Moreover, moisture can react with metallization components of the solar cell at the cell-encapsulant interface, resulting in the release of gaseous by-products, which in turn promote delamination as shown in Fig. 12 (a) . The synergic effect of high temperature-assisted moisture ingression also contributes to delamination .
