Abstract As Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 (CIGS) photovoltaic (PV) technology matures to production on
an industrial scale, its long-term stability becomes increasingly important: The electric yield …

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) are a known failure mode in a variety of thin film
photovoltaic (PV) devices, through mechanisms such as resistivity increase and …

Long-term performance reliability is essential for any photovoltaic module to become
established in the PV market. Reliability is characterized based on many factors, one of the …

The stability of molybdenum (Mo) back contact and Cu (InxGa (1‐x) Se2 (CIGS) absorber
layers interfaces relevant for CIGS‐based solar cells was investigated using accelerated …

Various transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films are used as window layers to permit light
transmission, photocurrent generation, and for electrical current collection in thin-film …

Atmospheric aerosol pollutants are considered for the first time for the durability evaluation
of non‐metallic photovoltaic materials on the example of pristine and Al2O3‐encapsulated …

The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of photovoltaic (PV) systems is determined by,
among other factors, the PV module reliability. Better prediction of degradation mechanisms …

This paper presents our recent observations on variations in properties and damp heat (DH)-
induced degradation behavior for single-layer 2% Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and bilayer ZnO …

Despite significant growth in photovoltaics (PV) over the last few years, only approximately
1.07 billion kWhr of electricity is estimated to have been generated from PV in the US during …

A round robin test was carried out in four PV laboratories to compare accelerated lifetime
testing. Twenty commercial non-packaged CIGS solar cells of similar performance were …
