Thank you for that reply. The goal of the test is not to see if cells are deteriorating. It is to check if a solar module can be used as a heating plate to achieve temperatures of around 60C indoors by forcing current through the cells. My question was to make sure that this does not lead to...

I want to perform an experiment where I simulate outdoor module temperature indoors. Since the module will be running at Imp and the worst possible case would be at Isc outdoors, I can push Isc through to increase the module temperature indoors. But the ambient temperature indoors would not be...

How much current can be forced through a photovoltaic (solar) cell before its performance starts to deteriorate? In certain accelerated lifetime testing 1.25xIsc is forced through a solar module while it sits inside a chamber (no incident light). Is there a theoretical limit to the amount of...
