What does Module Degradation mean?
Module degradation is the gradual reduction in a solar module’s output capability over time.
Does module degradation eliminate clipping?
Degradation can reduce output over many years, but it does not automatically erase clipping or justify every design trade-off. Modern modules may retain a high percentage of their rated output for decades, so clipping should still be evaluated thoughtfully.
How it relates to Tigo
Tigo’s Microinverter Tax discussion notes that long-term module performance matters when estimating lifetime clipping losses.
