- UNSW research indicates that PV module degradation is highly dependent on system design and geographical location.
- Tracker-based PV systems are found to suffer more UV degradation than fixed-tilt arrays.
- Tropical and desert regions are identified as areas where PV modules face the most significant environmental stress.
Why it matters: PV system designers must now account for increased UV degradation in tracker-based arrays, especially in harsh climates.
