6 FAQs about [The remaining photovoltaic modules of the project]

How long does a PV module last?

The PV module, a critical component of a PV power generation system, accounts for approximately 60% of the total cost. Ideally, the service life of a PV module should exceed 25 years [1 – 4]. However, in practice, environmental factors and external stresses often lead to a shorter lifespan than expected [5, 6].

How do PV modules affect unit power generation costs?

Photovoltaic (PV) modules, as essential components of solar power generation systems, significantly influence unit power generation costs. The service life of these modules directly affects these costs. Over time, the performance of PV modules gradually declines due to internal degradation and external environmental factors.

How many PV modules will be installed in 2020?

At approximately 60 metric tons of PV modules per megawatt (IRENA 2016), modules installed in 2020 will eventually result in more than 1 million tons of PV modules to be managed for reuse or disposal.

How do we predict the life cycle of photovoltaic modules?

Wei et al. propose a PV prediction model based on the Wiener process, which also considers individual differences, and models the degradation of photovoltaic modules to predict life. In , the life cycle of PV modules is obtained by combining a Wiener process with an acceleration time model.

How to predict PV module life?

Currently, there are two main methods for predicting PV module life: failure mechanism-based and data-driven [7, 8]. Failure mechanism-based PV module life prediction methods primarily forecast PV module life by quantifying the relationship between environmental pressure and output power, without requiring performance degradation monitoring data.

Do PV modules and systems have a significant performance degradation?
