It is known that the problems and failures that monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV modules often exhibit are due to various factors, both on the manufacturing side and operation/use side.

The 11 most common manufacturing defects of crystalline PV modules are:

  1. LID
  2. Premature aging
  3. PID
  4. Diode failure
  5. Soldering failure
  6. Cell microcracks
  7. Snail trails
  8. Burnt spots on frontsheet or backsheet
  9. Frontsheet or backsheet delamination
  10. Cell corrosion
  11. Cell wiring failure

In order to claim the repair of the PV modules defect from the manufacturing companies, it is necessary to diagnose these problems using specific certified methods.
