Solar energy is one of the fastest growing green energy sources worldwide today. Thepioneer modules in Sweden have been in use for quite some time. The aim of the reporthas been to examine how PV modules in Sweden have degraded a few years into theirlife cycle. This was accomplished using data from PV modules installed no later than2014. Data was collected from different arrays across the three regions set in the report,the southern, middle, and northern regions to examine how the efficiency changesdepending on location, size, and panel type. The efficiency over time was calculated usingthe solar energy received by the panels divided by the actual produced energy. The reportfound that the degradation of the panels was negative but a lot slower than what isexpected in warmer climates. This is thought to be due to the mild weather in the northernclimate and will result in the panels gaining a longer life cycle. The report did not find anydifference between rooftop modules and ground mounted modules, nor was there adifference between the monocrystalline and polycrystalline modules.
