Ex Led ARENA: Defining Residual Useful Life for pre-loved PV modules

The project develops software for automatically interpreting measurements on decommissioned solar PV modules, in order to determine a Residual Useful Life for the module. We will seek to establish a robust framework for determining this new parameter, based on measurement data and a deep understanding of the impacts of various imperfections on service life. CSIRO will seek to incorporate the software into the equipment it is presently commercialising for field-based PV module testing.
