Many challenges emerge in the life cycle of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels throughout the processes of their deployment and use in residential, commercial, industrial and transportation sectors.
The economic success of photovoltaic (PV) power plants depends crucially on their lifetime energy yield. Degradation effects and the total lifetime directly influence the produced elec-tricity and therefore the cash flow, which also impacts the levelized costs of energy (LCOE) and therefore the profitability of the power plant.
The latest scientific work shows that service lifetime and degradation models for PV modules are of specific use if they combine different modelling approaches and include know-how and modelling parameters of the most relevant degradation effects.
To evaluate and predict the service lifetime of PV modules in real-world operating conditions, mathematical approaches are usually utilized , , . Physical and statistical methods have been commonly used and recently machine learning approaches are being applied.
A proper strategy for the sustainable management of waste produced by solar PV cells should be created to maximize resource recovery and reduce the impact on the environment. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
Therefore, in the manufacturers’ context, the lifetime of a PV module is often defined as the time required for a PV module to lose its initial STC power by 20% (so-called degradation limit) . For outdoor degradation evaluations, statistical methods are commonly used.
Depending on the economic situation of a specific PV system, the end-of-life can be reached due to changing contractual conditions (e.g., changing electricity prices) or if it comes eco-nomically attractive to replace PV modules by new ones with higher efficiency.
