Comparative Reliability Analysis of PV Modules under tropical conditions

Reliability estimation of photovoltaic (PV) modules is an essential aspect of selecting the technology of PV modules by PV manufacturers. The authors of this paper use a few figures of merit (FOM) to perform the “Reliability Analysis” of PV modules. The FOM of PV modules of various wattages and produced by different technologies are measured. The authors have done all the experiments in open roof-top atmosphere conditions at different insolations and temperatures.
