This paper elucidates the behavior and underlying mechanism of potential-induced degradation (PID) on the rear side of p-type monocrystalline silicon bifacial passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) photovoltaic modules. . This report examines long-term performance losses in Energy America solar modules (and similar technologies) attributable to PID, LID, and LeTID, drawing from laboratory test reports and multi-year field studies. Using the aluminum-foil (Al-foil) method, the module was stressed for PID in an. . However, PERC technology brings new challenges with regard to the phenomenon of degradation: some monofacial/bifacial PERC cell modules were found to demonstrate much higher power degradation than Al-BSF cell modules after damp-heat (DH: 85°C and 85% relative humidity RH, 1000h) and. . Accelerated PID tests showed that an ALD-grown Al 2 O 3 layer of 30 nm could effectively suppress PID seriously affecting the conversion efficiency or light transmittance.
