The 36th PV Symposium, the renowned German-language conference on photovoltaic modules and applied PV, was held on 18-26 May 2021. This online conference was attended by more than 370 participants from Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
In the well-attended session on "Quality Assurance of PV Modules", moderated by Ulrike Jahn of VDE Renewables, three renowned PV experts shared their recent study results on these critical topics:
- Using Deep Learning to predict PV module I-V curves from electroluminescence images - opportunities and limitations
Dr. Sandy Rodrigues, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH / HI-ERN, Erlangen, Germany - Backsheets of PV modules: Status quo, damage cases and experiences from the field and laboratory
Peter Lechner, Head of PV Module Test Laboratory, Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), Stuttgart, Germany - Hotspot tests and real partial shading of modern high-power density modules: A probability and risk assessment
Dr. Bengt Jaeckel, Module and System Reliability Team Leader, Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP, Halle, Germany
