Photovoltaic system installation in the Alps
At a photovoltaic system in the Alps having two different types of glass-backsheet modules, one type shows after a few years cracks at the backsheets outer layer, while the others are free of failures. See Report T13-24:2021 „Qualification of Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants using Mobile Test Equipment“ and Report IEA-PVPS-T13-25:2022 "Guidelines for Operation and Maintenance of Photovoltaic Power Plants in Different Climates".

Development path of photovoltaics in the future Smart Grid
As part of the international cooperation in Task 14, an overview of current demonstration projects of communication and control concepts with a focus on ICT-related aspects of smart grid integration of photovoltaics was compiled. Based on these experiences, a universal development path was outlined, which describes the possible integration of photovoltaics into a future Smart Grid and the transition from a purely passive role to an active integration into grid control and energy markets.

IEA-PVPS Task 1 Expert Group in front of the Norwegian PV-Wafer production NorSun
The IEA-PVPS Task 1 Expert Group during the technical visit in front of the Nor Sun wafer factory building in Ardalstangen/Norway. Due to strong Chinese competition in PV wafer production, this plant had to be shut down in 2023; as part of the European Net Zero Industry Act, it should be possible to resume production.
