PV modules are getting weaker—how should the industry respond?

PV modules are getting weaker—how should the industry respond?

latest company news about PV modules are getting weaker—how should the industry respond? 0

Catastrophic-type glass breakage in PV modules. Image: Valentin, D. et al. 2022, “Failure investigation of a solar tracker due to wind-induced torsional galloping”.

In recent years PV modules have become weaker as a result of their growing surface area and diminishing frame sizes. Colin Sillerud of CFV Labs reports on what testing has revealed about large-format modules and considers what the industry should do about it.

Over the past five years photovoltaic (PV) modules have increased in area while their structural components, such as glass thickness and frame height, have been reduced. This has led to a dramatic mechanical weakening of PV modules, as shown in both laboratory testing and in-field results obtained by CFV Labs. A PV power plant is only as reliable as its components. The PV module, being the central component of a PV plant, must be mechanically robust enough to endure 20-30 years of environmental stresses.
