Encapsulant-Free Full-Size N.I.C.E. Modules in Outdoor Performance Test: First Year Results and Roadmap towards Higher Efficiency
- Encapsulant-free N.I.C.E. modules have strong ecological advantages compared to conventional laminated modules but suffer generally from lower electrical performance. Via long-term outdoor monitoring of fullsize industrial modules of both types with identical solar cells, we investigated if the performance difference remains constant over time and which parameters influence its value. AfterEncapsulant-free N.I.C.E. modules have strong ecological advantages compared to conventional laminated modules but suffer generally from lower electrical performance. Via long-term outdoor monitoring of fullsize industrial modules of both types with identical solar cells, we investigated if the performance difference remains constant over time and which parameters influence its value. After assessing about a full year’s data, two obvious levers for N.I.C.E. optimization are identified: The usage of textured glass and transparent adhesives on the module rear side. Also, the performance loss could be alleviated using tracking systems due to lower AOI values. Our measurements show additionally that N.I.C.E. module surfaces are in average about 2.5°C cooler compared to laminated modules. With these findings, we lay out a roadmap to reduce today’s LIV gap of about 5%rel by different optimizations.…
