Relative power loss (%) after laundry washings

Trial module	Cell type	Cell construction	Power loss (%) after 10–50 laundry washings relative to the module power after lamination before washing
Trial module	Cell type	Cell construction	10	20	30	40	50
1	A	Single cell	0.38	−0.23	−2.87	6.40	8.05
2	A	Single cell	13.3	10.7	11.1	7.78	−2.50
3	B	Three-cell module	18.2	20.7	20.0	22.6	20.4
4	B	Three-cell module	3.68	3.46	7.82	4.58	26.0
5	C	Three three-cell modules in parallel	17.6	26.6	23.5	21.3	26.7
6	D	Single cell	9.55	4.24	5.20	6.67	−1.81
7	D	Single cell	−5.46	−5.22	−1.57	−6.67	6.43
8	D	Single cell	7.68	9.21	−1.44	5.28	5.74
		Mean	8.1	8.7	7.7	8.5	11.1
Standard error of the mean			2.9	3.8	3.5	3.3	4.1

Note:

Negative value for power loss means that the measured power of the solar cell textile module had increased compared to the previous measurement before that washing round
