Why Panels Degrade

UV Exposure

Continuous UV light slowly breaks down the semiconductor material, reducing power output over time.

Thermal Cycling

Daily heating and cooling causes micro-cracks in cells and solder joints, decreasing efficiency.

Potential-Induced Degradation

Voltage stress between cells and frame can cause leakage currents that reduce output.
