Abstract

In this study, we analyze the electrical characteristics of amorphous silicon thin film photovoltaic module which are installed about 5 years ago. Four modules from PV system are extracted and measured the maximum power change ratio using solar simulator(Class A). Also, infrared camera is used to get thermal distribution characteristics of system. The external appearance change is compared with initial module by naked eye examination. Through this experiment, 31% maximum output power drop is observed. The detail description is specified as the following paper.
