PV RELIABILITY & ASSESSMENT OF TECHNICAL RISKS IN PV INVESTMENTS
Summary
New technologies, ground-
breaking ideas and
innovative solutions are buzz
words at Intersolar 2017. The
International Energy Agency
(IEA) Photovoltaic Power
Systems Programme (PVPS)
Task 13 presents a workshop
on PV Reliability and
Assessment of Technical
Risks in PV. The workshop
covers the state of the art on
PV module degradation,
common problems in
connection with material
properties and failure risk
estimates as well as the
assessment of technical risks
in PV projects. Presentations
also cover the outcome of
the work carried out by Task
13 experts to provide best
practices for PV module
energy yield benchmarking
and guidelines for outdoor
qualification of PV systems.
