Citations in the corpus

• A comprehensive review of different types of solar photovoltaic cells and their applications (2019, background): “According to Quintana et al. (2002), deterioration and staining are cause of cracks on the PV module.”
• Consensus stability testing protocols for organic photovoltaic materials and devices (2011, background): “Interestingly, it is commonly the case that the majority of the failures of crystalline silicon PV modules are associated with solder joints, busbars and other interconnects [4,5].”
• Crystalline silicon on glass (CSG) thin-film solar cell modules (2004, background): “Although there has been a question-mark concerning the stability and durability of such thin-films relative to the very high standard set by wafer-based modules (Green, 2003a; Quintana and King, 2002 ), the evidence suggests that CSG technology may prove to be superior even to this standard.”
