Thermal Stress and Strain of Solar Cells in Photovoltaic Modules

Due to different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the different module materials the change in temperature creates stresses. We quantify these thermomechanical stresses by performing a Finite-Element-analysis of a 60 cell module during thermal cycling. We therefore start by the experimental characterization of each material layer.
