Abstract

In this paper, the different aging mechanisms taking place in photovoltaic modules are discussed, and the cause-effect links, which exist among such mechanisms, are evidenced. It is also shown that a closed-loop link exists between aging and mismatching since aging (which is nonuniform by its nature) causes mismatching among cells, whereas mismatching, in turn, mainly due to its thermal effects, leads to nonuniform aging.
