Abstract
Field exposure is essential for evaluating the reliability and durability of PV modules. In this work we characterize three crystalline silicon PV systems that have been deployed in Florida. Detailed characterization of module performance was carried out to quantify degradation rates and identify root cause degradation mechanisms.
