Challenges such as intermittency, grid stability, and energy storage must be addressed to ensure solar PV systems’ reliable and efficient operation .
Defects in PV cells can lead to module failure, which can result in reduced power output and pose safety risks to the system. Therefore, it is essential to conduct regular inspections and maintenance of photovoltaic modules to ensure maximum output from the PV system throughout its lifespan 1.
Globally, PV waste is projected to make up 4 %–14 % of total generation capacity by 2030 and more than 80 % by 2050 due to a 25-year average panel lifespan. Therefore, PV panel disposal will be a significant environmental concern.
There are no specific severity, occurrence, and detection tables developed only for the solar panel as it is the most critical component of a solar PV system and its performance determines a PV plant’s efficiency and performance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an FMEA methodology to analyze solar panels.
