Effects of module performance and long-term degradation on economics and energy payback: case study of two different photovoltaic technologies
2009
Reliability of Photovoltaic Cells, Modules, Components, and Systems II
Both the economic viability and energy payback time of photovoltaic (PV) systems are inextricably tied to both the electrical performance and degradation rate of PV modules. Different module technologies exhibit different properties in response to varying environmental conditions over time. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effects of those differences on the life-cycle economical cost and energy payback time of two fielded PV systems; one system comprised of polycrystalline silicon
