The analysis of the degradation of tandem amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and microcrystalline silicon ( -Si:H): Micromorph thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) modules and its impact on the output power of a PV array under outdoor long term exposure located in Jaén (Spain) is addressed in this work. Furthermore, the evolution of main solar cell model parameters is evaluated by means of parameters extraction techniques from monitored data of the PV system in real operation of work. The degradation rate and the stabilization period of micromorph TFPV modules, as well as the results of the evolution of each of the solar cell model parameters along the outdoor long-term exposure are analysed in order to gain a better understanding of changes in performance of micromorph TFPV modules and the behaviour of the output power of the PV generator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
