Abstract

The International Photovoltaic (PV) Module Quality Assurance Task Force (PVQAT) was created in 2011 to develop a rating system that provides comparative information about the relative durability of PV modules. The identification of accelerated stress tests that can provide such comparative information is seen as a major step toward being able to predict PV module service life. This paper provides details of the ongoing effort to determine the format of such an overall module rating system.
