Facilities

Solar PV Reliability Laboratory

The primary objective of this lab is to perform research activities to predict/ forecast the remaining useful life of Solar PV system ( inclusive of Floating PV) for various climatic conditions. To accomplish the objectives, the lab is currently involved in the following vertically connected research areas.

• On-field evaluation to assess failure mode-based power degradation
• Accelerated field test to evaluate and replicate the on-field failure
• Soiling loss calculator tool development
• Statistical, Physical and Machine Learning Model based design tool development for failure mode-based power degradation

The systematic tools developed for Commercial systems are handled for assessment, making the contribution valuable for Industry, Solar Design Engineers and PV stake holders.
