摘要
Foldable PV modules based upon different PV technologies were evaluated in the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for mobile solar power generation. We performed outdoor PV performance comparison of foldable and flexible modules that were mounted on the NRL rooftop for 75 days. We show that foldable PV modules based on CIGS and crystalline Si cells have good stability without performance losses. Other prototype PV modules consisting of amorphous Si, III-V based multi-junction solar cells show a significant decrease in power at maximum power point (P-mpp) with losses of more than 10% due to non-optimized module encapsulation materials and processing. For the selected modules, reliability and durability testing results including damp heat test will be discussed.
