Description
Summary:The number of photovoltaic (PV) modules installed continues to grow in an important way. The installations lifetime is estimated near about twenty years. During this period of use, the PV module is going to undergo degradation caused by exposure to sunlight, in the moisture and in the temperature differences. In this work, we have for objective to model the phenomena of aging in UDTS 50 modules PV, which have a relatively long operating time, exposed out in two different environments. Simulations are established in order to quantify the electrical performance and to know the different types of damage. The results of the simulations over a period of 20 years showed a significant decrease of the electrical power production
