Aged photovoltaic panels commonly have hotspots, which can result in large power losses. In this study, hotspot creation in solar panels is investigated and the reasons for it are identified and outlines many methods for preventing the establishment of pre-hotspots and investigates the findings of experimental research. The power output, voltage, current, irradiance, and loss percentage for five c...Show More
Discoloration of solar panels is a phenomenon where the color of the panels changes over time due to numerous environmental variables such as temperature, irradiance, and humidity. Discoloration causes a significant impact on the PV performance reduction considering output power. The power degradation increases gradually due to the increment of discoloration of aged PV array modules. In this work,...Show More
