Uncovering the Overlooked Impacts of Inverter Clipping on Solar Module Degradation
The article discusses the increasing use of renewable energy and the trend towards higher DC/AC ratios in solar plants, leading to more clipping and curtailment. This can raise the operating temperature of solar modules, potentially accelerating their degradation, an effect not accounted for by standard simulation software.
We analyzed locations in the Australian national electricity market (NEM) using advanced models to assess the impact of clipping on module temperature and degradation. Results show that fixed tilt (east west) mounting systems remain cooler and experience less degradation compared to SAT systems, especially during summer months.
These insights are crucial for utility-scale solar developers, as they highlight how design choices like mounting technology and DC/AC ratios affect long-term module performance.

Advanced Degradation Modelling and Lifetime Assessment of Solar PV
One of the biggest challenges in the solar industry is simulating climate specific degradation rates accounting for the various climate stresses that can initiate pre-mature aging of the modules.
We adapt physics-based approach to understand the first principle of the module degradations and combine it with the regional climate to gain an understanding of the weather parameters that can initiate module failure.
With our advanced modelling approach, we can estimate the regions more likely to be susceptible to a specific degradation mode and provide solutions to the solar farm operators and manufacturers to improve the module lifetime.
