Description
Summary:— The design of a laboratory bench for studying the impact of high-speed microparticles on the energy characteristics of solar panels by analyzing their volt−ampere characteristics is described. The degradation of solar panels has been experimentally investigated on a microparticle accelerator. After exposure of an area of 8 cm 2 to a flux of 12 000 particles with sizes of 2−5 µm and speeds of 1−8 km/s, the short-circuit current of the solar panel has decreased by 0.06%.
