The Physics of Reliability: Evaluating Design Insights for Component Technologies in Solar (PREDICTS) program supports projects that evaluate the degradation and failure mechanisms of concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) collection and conversion components, then use data to create predictive models. PREDICTS funding also includes the collaborative development and initial implementation of industry standard tests for microinverter and microconverter reliability in stand-alone and module-integrated configurations.
