Stress Test Protocols to Screen for Early Field Failures in Metal Halide Perovskite Photovoltaic Modules
Photovoltaic (PV) modules that have a robust package and that pass a minimum of 100 hours of 1-sun irradiance at 55 °C are more likely to retain 80% of initial efficiency beyond 10 weeks in the field. In this work, we describe our progress towards understanding the relationship between light- and elevated-temperature testing and outdoor degradation of perovskite PV modules. We find that a combination of tests is required to confidently screen for early field failures. Here, we discuss field testing and indoor stress testing results from 8 different module batches representing 4 different module makers and a variety of processing conditions and formulations.
