- Emerging advanced multilayer renewable energy devices, such as reflector materials and photovoltaic modules, are expected to exhibit significantly increased service lifetimes compared to existing devices. Such devices must be capable of 20 to 30 years of operation under harsh outdoor weathering conditions. Industrial manufacturers cannot afford to wait extended periods of time to determine whether such lifetimes are realistic. Consequently, a flexible, robust, and accurate method for predicting the service lifetime of such devices is essential. Two requirements for developing such a method are first, to correlate the accelerated lifetime test methods with anticipated life under real-world operating environments; and second, to establish statistical models for predicting service lifetimes based on environmental stress factors.
