We present here a literature review of the effects of prolonged UV exposure of PV modules, with a particular emphasis on UV exposure testing using artificial light sources, including fluorescent, Xenon, and metal halide lamps. Understanding how solar panels interact with sunlight can help you grasp their efficiency and application in the broader solar industry. By focusing on UV light, these panels can convert energy that is typically wasted into usable. . People have used the sun's rays (solar radiation) for thousands of years for warmth and to dry meat, fruit, and grains. But have you ever wondered how this process works? Or what type of sunlight they use to produce this electricity? The sun emits a spectrum of light, much of it visible to the human eye.
