The solder joint degradation due to thermomechanical fatigue is investigated in this paper for photovoltaic (PV) mini-modules with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) of different viscoelastic properties. The mini-modules were laminated at different curing temperatures in order to obtain EVA encapsulation with different viscoelastic properties. The influence of viscoelasticity of EVA on the thermomechanical fatigue generated on solder joint is analyzed based on a two-dimensional (2D) finite-element model. Based on simulation of thermomechanical stresses accumulation, minimodules with EVA cured at lower temperatures accumulated approximately 40% more stresses during the thermal cycle testing than mini-modules with optimal cured EVA. The tested mini-modules with EVA cured at lower temperature showed greater power degradation than the optimal cured mini-modules. An apparent increase in equivalent series resistance is the primary factor the power loss. A good correlation between the accumulated thermomechanical fatigue and the increase in equivalent series resistance is demonstrated with the tested samples.
