These defect passivation strategies are instrumental in improving the built-in electric field and charge collection capability of devices, enhancing the photovoltaic conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, and the development of solar photovoltaic technologies in the future research.
Nevertheless, the record PCE was obtained on small-size PSC devices (≈0.1 cm 2) while large-area solar panels are needed in practical applications. [13-15] Hence, it is necessary to scale up device fabrication toward perovskite solar modules (PSMs) to enable the commercialization of PSCs. [16-18]
Experimental glass reparation using UV-curing resin. Determine the end of the fracture. During the reparation the temperature of the PV module should remain between 5 °C and 29 °C. The glass temperature is optimal at 20 °C. Cool or heat the PV module to the required temperature. Check for presence of water.
The reparation method for glass defects makes use of relatively inexpensive materials compared to the substitution of a PV module. However, the reparation requires substantially more time than substitution and thereby reduces the economic impact. Standardization may improve the time efficiency of the repair technique.
This repair technology can be done in the field and is an alternative solution to module replacement. Over the last few years, several solar park operators have observed a premature degradation of some photovoltaic (PV) modules.
Furthermore, the research analyzed the economic and energetic impact of glass defect reparation in comparison with regular substitution. We found that glass-glass PV modules which endured glass defects did not show performance loss, nor internal damage to the PV cells.
After the initial tests, the glass defect PV modules were divided into two subgroups: repaired specimen and non-repaired specimen. The repaired specimen were treated with the experimental repair technique, whereas the non-repaired specimen were left untreated as reference.
Encapsulated moisture in the internal parts of PV modules affects the reliability and may cause various issues, e.g., corrosion, delamination and connection failure [ 11 ]. The replacement of the back sheet layer with a glass panel drastically reduces the proneness to water penetration.
