This especially applies to resistance to weather conditions and resistance to UV radiation. The authors conducted a series of tests on samples of photovoltaic modules made using a composite lamination technology based on glass fibres and hardened resins. The resistance of such a structure to atmospheric conditions and degradation by UV rays was investigated. Both of these areas have a significant impact on the efficiency of such a solution in terms of converting solar energy into electricity and the service life of the solution. It was found that delamination of the composite PV modules can be avoided in the case of some studied resins (e.g. LG 385).}, title={Visual and microscopic tests of composite PV module samples for the construction of roof and facade type BIPV}, type={Article}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/133414/14_AoT_4-2024_P.Chaja-543.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ather.2024.152005}, keywords={Composite, Photovoltaic, Roof, Use of lightweight structures}, }
