Origins of solar cell failures. Thermal image cameras look for panel hotspots. Overheated cells can damage the casing material and cause delamination. Where do the hotspots come from? Shade on the module or a defective cell can change the module from power production to power consumption resulting in heating the cell which will show as a …
Background: The ultimate goal of treating patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is to repair them when the risk of rupture exceeds the risk of repair. Small AAAs demonstrate a low rupture risk, and recently, large AAAs just above the threshold (5.5–6.0 cm) seem to be at low risk of rupture as well. The present review …

Micro-fractures, also known as micro-cracks, represent a form of solar cell degradation. The silicon used in the solar cells is very thin, and expands and contracts as a result of thermal cycling.
