Outdoor exposure tests of silicon crystalline photovoltaic for reliability

The photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the renewable energies that attract the attention of researchers in the recent decades. The evaluation of the PV performance requires the measurement of the current as a function of irradiance, temperature, humidity, wind power and wind direction. This work presents a degradation factor of silicon crystalline photovoltaics based on maximum yield power generation tracking system in outdoor exposure. Outdoor exposure tests of silicon crystalline PV have been conducted in Seosan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, Republic of Korea.
