五分之一的太阳能电池板的降解速度太快,由于隐蔽的缺陷仅持续11年,尽管在设计上长达25年。 One in five solar panels degrade too fast, lasting only 11 years due to hidden flaws, despite lasting 25 in design.

新南威尔士大学的一项研究发现,大约五分之一的太阳能电池板的降解速度比预期的快,可能仅持续11年,而不是设计好的25年。 A University of New South Wales study finds that about one in five solar panels degrade faster than expected, potentially lasting only 11 years instead of the designed 25. 虽然大多数板块每年效率下降0.9%,但有些板块的降解速度是1.5至两倍,原因是未察觉到的制造缺陷,如毛线裂缝或质量控制中遗漏的缺陷。 While most panels lose 0.9% efficiency annually, some degrade 1.5 to twice as fast due to undetected manufacturing flaws like hairline cracks or defects missed in quality control. 这些问题导致性能突然下降,并发生在所有气候中,热天气加速,但没有造成问题。 These issues cause sudden performance drops and occur across all climates, with hot weather accelerating but not causing the problem. 目前的测试方法未能复制现实世界的条件,促使专家们呼吁改进标准,以确保太阳能农场的长期可靠性和财务稳定。 Current testing methods fail to replicate real-world conditions, prompting experts to call for improved standards to ensure long-term reliability and financial stability for solar farms.
