Evaluation of BO-LID Recovery Characteristics in PV Modules Under Various DH Recovery Condition
摘要
This study investigates the effectiveness of three post-damp heat (DH) recovery protocols—current injection, light soaking, and thermal cycling—in mitigating boron-oxygen light-induced degradation (BO-LID) in p-type crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules. Mini modules encapsulated with EVA and POE were subjected to DH 1 000 h followed by recovery tests per IEC 61215-2 MQT 19.3. Results indicate that current injection produced the most consistent recovery, with EVA modules achieving up to 17.5% recovery. Light soaking showed strong initial performance but lacked long-term stability, while thermal cycling often accelerated degradation. The findings highlight the significance of standardized recovery conditions and material-dependent behavior in long-term PV reliability assessment.
