The analysis and results shown in this paper assume high temperature as the only stressor. However, solar cells in space environment are additional stressors. Therefore, to determine the meaningful reliability figures of solar cells a set of accelerating aging tests which include all stressor is compulsory . 5. Summary and conclusions
Further, significant advancements in materials, manufacturing processes, operations, and maintenance strategies are observed. Therefore, a reliability analysis of solar PV systems should be carried out using four types of data sets: field failure data, expert evaluations, reliability tests, and relevant data available in the literature.
For that reason, the development of Accelerated Life Tests (ALTs) able to predict the solar reliability cell in a short period of test time is a must-goal. Temperature ALT and Arrhenius model are widely used to evaluate the reliability of III-V optoelectronic devices.
Main conclusions are: An activation energy of 0.97 eV has been estimated which is significantly larger than the typical accepted value of 0.7 eV used to estimate the solar cell reliability based on space qualification standards . The use of the new estimated value results in significantly higher lifetime values for the tested cells.
A reliability analysis can estimate a solar PV system’s expected performance over its lifetime. It can help determine whether the system performs optimally or if any potential issues may affect its long-term reliability. A solar PV system’s reliability is directly linked to its economic viability.
