Photovoltaic failure is not defined uniformly in the literature. Some definitions indicate that a drop of 80% in maximum output power is considered a PV failure . Others claim a 20% drop in maximal power is a PV failure . Durand and Bowling defined failure as a drop of more than 50% in maximum power output.
Back and front contact layers failure, failures of semiconductor layers, encapsulant failure. Faults related to string and central inverter. Errors in PV modules, cables, batteries, inverters, switching devices and protection devices are considered. The failure of the components affects the reliability of solar PV systems.

A thorough study on the solar PV module failure modes, associated fire risks, and failure detection methods in PV modules has been reported by Akram et al., .
Durand and Bowling defined failure as a drop of more than 50% in maximum power output. However, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) stated that a 50% drop in maximum power output must be accompanied by safety hazards to ascertain failure in the PV module .
The failure of the components affects the reliability of solar PV systems. The published research on the FMEA of PV systems focuses on limited PV module faults, line-line contact faults, string faults, inverter faults, etc. The literature shows that the reliability analysis method is used to evaluate different faults in PV systems.

If the battery bank is unable to meet the deficit power, then the remaining power will be treated as a loss of power supply (LPS). By integrating HRES into the grid, the remaining power will be purchased from the grid. If the remaining power is more than the maximum grid purchased power, then balance deficit power, which is equal to the difference of remaining …
