Model based FMEA method for solar modules

The aim of the Article is a proposal of a new Model Based FMEA Method applied for solar modules. A model based paradigm is an advanced approach in the current science and technology. The Author employs this concept for increasing an efficiency of the FMEA method. It is demonstrated by the example of the FMEA analyses of solar modules. This work builds on the achievements resulting from the previous works concerning applying the FMEA method for soldering process. In the Article we present a knowledge model of solar module system as well as meta-model of general product. Finally, the process of reasoning of potential failure modes over the solar module system model will be described.
