Abstract
A method for optimizing the electrical performance of all or part of a photovoltaic module (11) through breakdown at the metal/oxide/metal interface. The method may include: —Step 1: Illuminating all or part of said photovoltaic module with a luminous flux controlled by a control module (14); —Step 2: Reverse-biasing said photovoltaic module: by subjecting it to a voltage sweep ranging from −Voc/2, Voc being the open-circuit voltage, to a limit bias voltage VL whose value depends on the mode of interconnection and on the number (NB) of cells forming all or part of said photovoltaic module.
