This graph shows a temporary solar glass shortage starting in late 2020 due to many manufacturers switching to thinner, 2mm sheets.\u00a0 (Image originally from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exa-watt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exawatt<\/a>.)<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Bill Of Materials<\/h2>\n<p>The list of components used to make a solar panel is called a Bill Of Materials or BOM.\u00a0 Panels that are the same model can use different Bills Of Materials.\u00a0 This can affect module durability and how likely they are to pass tests.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to build a solar farm, you can pay PVEL for the detailed version of their report that provides information on which BOMs are the most durable.\u00a0 You can then go to a manufacturer and demand they get off their lousy BOMs and make panels for you with a BOM that can be exposed for decades to the Australian outdoors without problem.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a homeowner putting solar panels on your roof, you don&#8217;t have the market power to demand a specific BOM.\u00a0 What does improve your chances of having a nice BOM is Australia&#8217;s consumer law.\u00a0 Australian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accc.gov.au\/consumers\/consumer-rights-guarantees\/consumer-guarantees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Consumer Guarantees<\/a> mean you can receive a repair, replacement, or refund for a defective product regardless of its warranty or the small print it may contain.\u00a0 This applies to any panel manufacturer with an office in Australia.\u00a0 If they don&#8217;t have an office, then it applies to the importer.\u00a0 So if you buy a panel from a manufacturer with an office in Australia that intends to do business here long term and has a reputation to protect, then chances are your BOM will be fine.<\/p>\n<h2>PVEL&#8217;s 5 Physical Tests<\/h2>\n<p>PVEL has five main physical tests they put solar panels through to determine how likely they are to resist different forms of panel degradation over decades of exposure to the elements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Thermal Cycling<\/li>\n<li>Damp Heat<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical Stress Sequence<\/li>\n<li>Potential Induced Degradation (PiD)<\/li>\n<li>Light-Induced Degradation (LID) + Light and Elevated Temperature-Induced Degradation (LeTiD)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The PVEL summary also gave information on PAN Performance; which is a simulation of how well panels will perform in a solar farm, but the results aren&#8217;t very useful for rooftop solar power, so I won&#8217;t go into it.<\/p>\n<p>I describe the five main tests below:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Thermal Cycling<\/h2>\n<p>Solar panels heat up during the day and cool down at night.\u00a0 This temperature change is called a thermal cycle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_62183\" style=\"width: 1022px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62183\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_cycle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1012\" height=\"757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_cycle.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_cycle-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_cycle-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-62183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">And then god sent a rainbow as a message to the world that, once more, she had thermally cycled the solar panels.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Temperature change causes different materials to expand and contract at different rates.\u00a0 This puts the joins between them under strain.\u00a0 Over time this can damage the electrical connections in solar panels and decrease performance.\u00a0 Passing this test is especially important for panels in the outback, where the temperature difference between day and night is often extreme.<\/p>\n<p>The test involves cooling panels to -40\u00b0C and then raising them to 85\u00b0C.\u00a0 This is done 600 times.\u00a0 The 125\u00b0C temperature differential is much greater than a module would normally ever experience in use.\u00a0 I&#8217;d have a tough time surviving even one cycle, but PVEL says 90% of tested solar panels tested degraded less than 2% and were classed as Top Performers.\u00a0 This indicates manufacturers have come a long way on this measure of reliability.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Damp-Heat<\/h2>\n<p>High temperatures and humidity are bad for electronics, and solar panels are electronic.\u00a0 Exposure to conditions found in tropical Australia can cause:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Moisture ingress:<\/strong>\u00a0 Water getting into anything with electricity running through it is bad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delamination:<\/strong>\u00a0 Solar panels are held together by epoxy<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/pvel-2022-panel-scorecard\/#en-62133-3' id='enref-62133-3' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(62133)'>3<\/a><\/sup> and in severe cases, this can degrade and cause the panel to start peeling apart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corrosion:<\/strong>\u00a0 While there&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/risen-steel-solar-frames-mb2234\/\">normally no steel<\/a> to rust in solar panels, other metals can corrode, and heat and humidity contribute to it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PVEL locks the panels in a test chamber at 85\u00b0C and 85% humidity for 1,000 hours to test how well the modules resist these problems.\u00a0 Then, when they think it&#8217;s over, to crush their spirits completely, they do it all again for another 1,000 hours.<\/p>\n<p>PVEL said 50% of panels tested degraded less than 2% after this sauna torture. \u00a0But one module in this round of testing was the worst they&#8217;d ever seen, with a 54% fall in performance.\u00a0 You&#8217;d want to avoid installing one like that in Darwin.<\/p>\n<p>Some panels recovered some of their lost performance after resting at normal temperatures and humidity.\u00a0 Since the test conditions were unrealistically bad, involving conditions not seen in real life, it seems fair to count their performance after they&#8217;ve had a break.\u00a0 A total of 27% of the solar panels tested that suffered less than 2% deterioration only achieved this after the rest period.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Mechanical Stress Sequence<\/h2>\n<p>Panels can flex in the wind, and this places them under mechanical stress.\u00a0 Snow piling up can do the same.\u00a0 This stress can reduce output by causing solar cells to crack and damaging electrical connections.\u00a0 This can create dangerous hot spots rapidly leading to panel failure.<\/p>\n<p>In a worst-case situation, the panel glass can break.\u00a0 This usually doesn&#8217;t happen outside of cyclones, but PVEL testing is severe, and the majority of solar panel failures were due to broken glass rather than loss of output.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_62194\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62194\" class=\"wp-image-62194 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_stompatron.jpg\" alt=\"Solar panel mechanical stress test\" width=\"1000\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_stompatron.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_stompatron-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_stompatron-768x336.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-62194\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here&#8217;s a panel where the glass broke under mechanical stress applied by PVEL&#8217;s robotic stomp-a-tron.

Potential Induced Degradation (PID)<\/h2>\n<p>Potential Induced Degradation, or PID for short, is a type of degradation more likely to occur in hot and humid climates.\u00a0 Its technical cause is positively charged sodium ions moving from a panel&#8217;s glass cover to its solar cells because they&#8217;re attracted to stray electrical currents.\u00a0 The result may look like snail trails on solar cells and can reduce a panel&#8217;s output by up to 30%.<\/p>\n<p>The test for PID involves putting the modules in sauna-like conditions, as in the Damp Heat Test, while passing the panel&#8217;s maximum rated voltage through them for 96 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, solar panels from reputable manufacturers no longer suffer from a significant amount of PID.\u00a0 But there are some for which it is still a severe problem.\u00a0 Of the panels PVEL tested, 5% suffered more than 8% deterioration in output.<\/p>\n<h2>5. LID + LeTiD<\/h2>\n<p>Light-Induced Degradation (LID) is a normal and usually minimal form of degradation in all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/p-type-and-n-type-solar-cells-excellent-electron-adventure\/\">P-type solar panels<\/a>.\u00a0 Beyond an expected small amount, it&#8217;s usually not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Light and Elevated Temperature-Induced Degradation (LeTID) is a type of degradation that normally only occurs in significant amounts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/perc-solar-panel\/\">PERC panels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The test for both these problems involves subjecting solar panels to light as intense as full sunshine for 486 straight hours. That&#8217;s nearly three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Results show manufacturers appear to have both these problems well under control, as only one of the panels tested suffered degradation over 3%.\u00a0 PVEL attributed this to improvements in cell doping.\u00a0 This is where tiny quantities of the desired element are added to solar cells under controlled conditions.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_62242\" style=\"width: 687px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62242\" class=\"wp-image-62242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_perpet.jpg\" alt=\"Solar panel LID + LeTiD test\" width=\"677\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_perpet.jpg 677w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/top_perpet-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-62242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don&#8217;t try this at home, kids. The solar panel will never supply enough power to keep the lights going. <em>Image credit: PVEL<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Limits To Knowledge<\/h2>\n<p>PVEL only says which panels passed their tests and became what they call Top Performers.\u00a0 They don&#8217;t tell us which panels failed or if a module was tested at all.\u00a0 This means we can&#8217;t say a panel that didn&#8217;t get Top Performer status is bad.\u00a0 All we can conclude is that panels that did get Top Performer status are probably good.\u00a0 While it would be nice to have all the information, just knowing which ones we can be confident are good is still useful.<\/p>\n<h2>Champion Solar Panels<\/h2>\n<p>This year 15 manufacturers had one or more solar panels that passed all five physical tests.\u00a0 In the past, only a few panels at best would pass all the main tests, but this year 30 panels passed all five tests.\u00a0 If we don&#8217;t count otherwise identical panels that only differ in size, the number drops down to 17, but this is still a far better result than any other year.<\/p>\n<p>I hereby declare the panels that were Top Performers in all five tests to be Champions of Toughness!\u00a0 I can&#8217;t guarantee the solar panels listed below will operate without problem for decades, but I&#8217;m confident the odds are good.\u00a0 While a panel may be made with a low-quality Bill Of Materials (BOM), which will reduce its reliability, this is not likely to occur if they are from a manufacturer with an Australian office that has made a credible commitment to selling here long-term.\u00a0 This is because they won&#8217;t want the expense of replacing panels that fail.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies to any Australian company that imports panels from manufacturers that don&#8217;t have an office here.\u00a0 If the importer is a trustworthy and reliable company and intends to be in business for many years to come, then they are likely to ensure the panels they import are reliable.<\/p>\n<p>Two things to note about the Champions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many are large panels made for solar farms and over 2.1m in length.\u00a0 These can be installed on residential roofs but sometimes don&#8217;t fit.<\/li>\n<li>Many &#8212; such as the Boviet, ET, and Trina panels &#8212; are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/double-glass-glass-glass-bifacial-panels-hell\/\">bifacial<\/a> and have glass on both sides.\u00a0 Because they can use light from behind, this makes them more suitable for ground mounts or tilt racks rather than installed centimetres above a roof, as most residential solar is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve listed all 30 solar panels that are Champions of Toughness below.\u00a0\u00a0 I included links to the panel&#8217;s datasheets if the manufacturer has them on their website and made them reasonably easy to
