A case study on monitoring Potential Induced Degradation (PID) recovery in multi-crystalline modules

Kwembur, Isaac M.; McCleland, J. L. C.; Vorster, F. J.; van Dyk, E. E. (2020)

Potential Induced Degradation (PID) causes significant module degradation leading to decreased power output in photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Many PV power plants are constructed using transformerless inverters and may ...
Detection of potential induced degradation in mono and multi-crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules

Kwembur, Isaac M.; McCleland, J. L. C.; van Dyk, E. E.; Vorster, F. J. (Elsevier, 2020-03)

Potential induced degradation (PID) is a performance limiting defect that profoundly impacts the power output of Photovoltaic (PV) modules. PID occurs because of leakage current between the solar cells and the aluminium ...
Monitoring the natural recovery of potential induced degradation in poly-crystalline photovoltaic modules

Kwembur, Isaac M.; Crozier McCleland, J. L.; van Dyk, E. E.; Vorster, F. J. (2022-02)

Potential induced degradation (PID) is a defect that has a severe effect on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules in field conditions. It is caused by leakage currents and the accumulation of sodium ions (Na+) between ...
