DuraMAT 2025 Presentations from Kiwa PVEL
Oct 8, 2025. Kiwa PVEL's Dr. Todd Karin presented on two topics at the 2025 DuraMAT Workshop as part of the "Fielded Modules & UV Degradation" track.
The Durable Module Materials Consortium (DuraMAT) is a U.S. Department of Energy-supported consortium of national laboratories, universities, and industry, focused on understanding degradation mechanisms in photovoltaic (PV) modules and developing materials and designs for PV modules capable of a 50-year operational lifespan.
At the 2025 Workshop, Dr. Karin gave two talks: one on “Multi‐Year Study of Crack‐Induced Degradation in Fielded Photovoltaic Modules” and another on “New Cells, New Issues: Stress Tests for N-Type PV Module Designs”.
