Beyond UV exposure, IPVF offers light cycling and light-thermal cycling to probe photo- and thermo-induced degradation, plus damp-heat testing at standard or elevated pressure to accelerate stress. For intrinsic aging studies, tests run under inert N₂ to isolate stack-composition/morphology effects, particularly relevant for thin-film and perovskite devices. In-situ monitoring combines periodic IV sweeps with continuous MPPT.
