Starting in 1975, the Flat-Plate Solar Array project was begun and NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) organized a series of purchases of PV modules from manufacturers designated as JPL Block Buys I through V. All modules were crystalline silicon. Based on field experience and failure analysis of degraded modules, each of the five block buys generally placed increasingly stringent accelerated stress tests on the modules through additional tests, altered test parameters, and varied test durations to reach the current IEC 61215 qualification tests.

Contamination (e.g. improper cleaning of the glass) Environmental Factors (Temperature and Humidity) Performance loss due to decoupling of the encapsulant from the cells Moisture accumulation and possibility of corrosion failures in metallic contacts
Inadequate choice of additives and/or their concentrations As a result of a problem in module To produce acetic acid with UV exposure, which corrodes solder bonds and electrical contacts To decrease EVA adhesion and shear strength
Poor soldering in the PV module production process of the connection between cell interconnect ribbon and string interconnect is the most important reason for disconnections Physical stress during PV module transportation, thermal cycle, and/or hot spots by partial cell shading during long-term PV system operation
The current IEC tests have been fairly successful in weeding out poor modules. The degradation rates reported by Jordan and Kurtz (Jordan & Kurtz, 2012) indicate that the tests have been quite successful in identifying and eliminating module types that suffer large degradation rates early in their lifetime.

To address the gap between IEC qualification tests addressing infant mortality and longer term performance/durability/reliability testing, a number of global research and standards development activities are currently underway. One of the principal efforts currently underway to address PV durability, performance, and reliability was initiated through a cooperative effort between NREL in the United States, the European Commission s JRC, and Japan s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
