* 2 real examples demonstrate how to obtain the service life of solar collector
systems
* Durable, providing fundamentals that will continue to be valuable over the
next 5-10 years
* Lighting a pathway to the commercialisation of solar products
Solar devices lose their performance over time. The rate of degradation controls
the service life of these devices. The essential concepts used to assess
durability and performance of two specific solar collector systems are
described, enabling researchers to assess durability in other solar devices. The
examples of modelling, testing and performance measurements give researchers a
how-to approach to reach crucial service lifetime predictions.
