Abstract: Lifetime of Photovoltaic (PV) inverters is affected by the installation sites related to different solar irradiance and ambient temperature profiles (also referred to as mission profiles). In fact, the installation site also affects the degradation rate of the PV panels and, thus, long-term energy production and reliability.
According to the above results, the degradation rate of the PV panel has a strong influence on the long-term device junction temperature, and thus the PV inverter lifetime. From the extracted thermal loading profiles, the lifetime evaluation can be applied according to Fig. 5.
