3 Introduction 3
4 Damp Heat induced degradation (DHID) What is DHID, when does it occur, how is it detectable? Power loss of c-si PV modules induced by degradation reaction between front metallization, encapsulation and moisture For Ag(Pb) metallization DHID commonly observed > 1700 h of DH testing Visible in electroluminescence (EL) image as blackening of image coming from corner and edges of cell EL EL after 2500 h DH 4
5 Looking in the future or the present? New encapsulation materials Ethylene vinyl acetate with lower VA content Reduced acetic acid formation? Innovative material, e.g. polyolefin encapsulation Cross-linked vs. thermoplastic material? What functional groups? Degradation by-products in terms of DHID? New metallization materials Ag paste with lead-free glass Plated metallization 5

28 Results with a little twinkle Bad contacts?! Biased DH testing (@8 A and 85 C/85% RH.) of screen printed Ag-paste metallization with Bi-glass Most probably decreasing contact resistance between metallization and cell biased 500 h 1000 h 28

30 Summary and conclusion Biased set-up accelerated DHID only in terms of Ag(Pb)/Ag metallization Why is this so? Biased cell vs. module testing EVA vs. POE: For Ag(Pb) metallization no DHID with POE visible (1750 h DH), next: looking for other degradation pattern in next time frames For Ag(Pb) with capping for both encapsulation materials degradation detectable Process-induced degradation (electrolyte, ph) or DHID? What happened chemically at the interface Ag(Pb) / cell? After enhancing electrical contacts for Ag(Bi) metallization during biased DH testing (< 1000 h), next: looking for degradation in next time frames 30
