Solar panels’ performance : the challenge of manufacturers
As manufacturers are seeking to improve the performance of solar panels, research is focused on two particular properties : the conversion efficiency of the panels, but also the durability of the cell.
Durability is indeed an important property to study as it impacts service life and the evolution of conversion efficiency over time.
The threat of oxidation
Since oxidation of photovoltaic substances is one of the possible causes of the durability limits of their solar cells, manufacturers need to study these photovoltaic materials.
That’s where we come in. Our Themys TGA thermal analyzer and its thermogravitmetry technique can help you measure the oxidation resistance of materials, giving you an insight into cell durability.
