Experimental repair technique for glass defects of glass-glass
The PV modules with glass defects under test did not show internal defects in the PV cells, while the repaired specimens performed properly at each phase in the repair process
The scientists introduced the new approach in the study “ Experimental repair technique for glass defects of glass-glass photovoltaic modules – A techno-economic analysis,” published in Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells. “Overall, the first indicators for a technically feasible and effective repair technique are positive,” they concluded.
