Cyclic Mechanical Loading of Solar Panels – A Field Experiment

Presented at the 4th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, WCPEC-4, June 15 2018. A panel mounted outdoors during Hurricane Irma underwent a large number of low amplitude cyclic mechanical load cycles, and these cycles caused some opening of closed cracks in the solar cells. Low amplitude cyclic loading on the LoadSpot tool was compared, and crack opening was also seen.
