Being able to see microcracks allows you to repair or replace those cells before the module is finished. Electroluminescent imaging can be used at any point during the process or during the life of a solar module.

One of the most critical steps to get exactly right when manufacturing solar modules is the solar cell to solar cell interconnection, where you're soldering electrical connections and mechanical wires between cells.

Microcracks can cause a large area of an individual cell to be isolated from the cell circuit, causing reverse bias. Once a cell gets too hot from reverse bias, it can cause fires, catastrophic failure, and permanent damage.

Microcracks can come from several different areas over the lifecycle of a photovoltaic module. The four main causes of solar microcracks come during manufacturing, during shipment, during installation, and after installation.

All solar cells that go into crystalline modules are made from very thin slices of crystalline silicon, and these slices start off as wafers. Solar microcracks are cracks in the silicon structure that is in the wafer.

With Levalized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) being the key driver, the solar industry expects high performance PV modules, produced with the right materials and processes, installed in a well-integrated system that will perform well even beyond its stated lifetime.
