Safeguarding Solar PV Revenues

Solar panels with a sunset

Periodically we’ll present latest developments in solar PV to you with help of infographic posters. Each infographic has its own theme. Like cost of module failure modes, inverter failures or material reliability in a PV module. Find out how Kiwa can be your partner in progress for safeguarding long term solar investments.

Poster #7 – LID and LETID

This poster is co-written with Dr. Alison Ciesla from UNSW and Tara Doyle from PVEL. The poster tells you about Light Induced Degradation (LID) and Light Elevated Temperature Induced Degradation (LETID). Why does it occur? What impact does it have on PERC modules? What role does the climate play? What is the severity of the degradation mode? It also tells more about the financial impact and frequency of LID and LETID and how you as an investor can mitigate these risks to gain the most profit out of your solar projects.

Poster #6 – Inverters

This poster is co-written with Tara Doyle from PVEL. The poster tells you about working principle of inverters, their forecast and most frequent failures. Moreover, the financial impact & frequency of their failures and how you as an investor can mitigate these risks to gain the most profit out of your solar projects.

Poster #4 – The Role of Bill of Materials

This poster is co-written with Tara Doyle from PVEL and Dr. Frederic Dross from STS. The poster tells you all about the bill of materials and production impact module quality in the field. Moreover, about the financial impact thereof and how you as an investor can mitigate these risks to gain the most profit out of your solar PV projects.
