Foil method for PID examination misguiding so one side of bifacial module is stressed
Arise from PID cardiovascular test can be misguiding when bifacial PV modules are PID-stressed from simply one side making use of the aluminum foil technique in IEC TS 62804, according to a new study by Belgian researchers. An unintended electrical field arises between the non-stressed side of the cell and the based inside of the climate chamber, which might have the undesired result of creating added PID stress and anxiety.
