number keeps rising.2 The increase of solar power users in spite ofthe relatively high upfront cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) module installation (for a single-familyhouse it runs between $20,000 and $50,000) is due to the high estimation of Return on Investment(ROI).3 However, most of ROI estimation neglects the functional decline of efficiency of powergeneration over time, also known as the degradation rate. As use of solar power is growing, theaccurate prediction of power delivery over time in PV modules is important. The total powerdelivery to the electric system with the same amount of solar radiation depends on both howefficiently a solar PV module converts sunlight into power and how this relationship changes overtime.There are three
