In this year’s ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID) testing, engineering advisory and test services provider Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC), has noticed that 40% of modules tested have returned with a red flag result.

In its sixth annual PV Module Index Report, RETC – a member of the VDE Group – said that “without immediate and collective action, UVID has the potential to become a major reliability issue for industry stakeholders.”
