Finite element analysis (FEA) as part of computer-aided engineering is used in many branches, especially within R&D departments. State-of-the-art simulation software enables the application of simplified real-life conditions to photovoltaic components, modules and even arrays of modules, even without requiring a physical prototype. This leads to faster development cycles and a more accurate estimation of …
