减轻紫外线辐射和极端环境对太阳能电池及组件性能影响的研究进展与批判性分析

Abstract The increasing importance of solar energy necessitates technological advancements to ensure its long-term viability and widespread adoption. This research aims to investigate how various environmental conditions impact the durability, efficiency, and overall performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, contributing to their degradation. The financial sustainability and optimal performance of solar energy systems depend on the resilience of solar cells and panels against aging processes. This study focuses on identifying factors contributing to the aging of solar panels, with a particular emphasis on the role of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The aforementioned elements comprise temperature variations, exposure to moisture, and accumulation of grime, discoloration, cracking, and delamination of layers. This research extensively investigates the factors and consequences of UV-induced degradation in solar cells and panels. It also investigates the approaches utilized to alleviate UV-induced harm and prolong the lifespan of solar panels. In addition, the study examines strategies and optimal approaches to mitigate the effects of age-related obstacles on solar energy systems, thereby guaranteeing their long-term viability and functionality. In conclusion, the research establishes fresh scientific pathways and strategic recommendations to tackle the challenges posed by solar PV technologies’ aging and degradation. These advancements will facilitate the extensive adoption of PV systems as a sustainable energy source and ensure their long-term viability.
