AB - The performance of photovoltaic panels and lifetime are determined to a large  extent by the quality of photovoltaic cells, their soldering technology, the  quality of ethyl vinyl acetate film (EVA) in which they are encapsulated,  the encapsulation technology and the back sheet. Depending on the  manufacturing technology, photovoltaic panels can be made of  monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous Silicon cells. This  manuscript studies the main factors that influence the aging of photovoltaic  panels in order to assess their effectiveness and sustainability in terms of  energy, in order to establish the optimum conditions of photovoltaic panel’s  location, being a contribution to the attainment of the targets in terms of  growth using renewable sources of energy. The main purpose of this research  is to study the current state, in Romania, in the field of renewable  energies by using solar panels.
