Predicting and analysing degradation using models
A physical model based on a
technical understanding of the failure
mechanism is used to predict effects
on panels.
Statistical models show failure
rates based on customer feedback
and monitoring data to predict
future claim levels.
System modeling
Used to predict system performance
Compared with monitoring data results in an
analysis of possible degradation causes
Calculate of possible reverse current
Simulation of shading scenario
Comparison of simulation with testing
Calculate of maximum temperature
