        abstract = {The increasing adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has necessitated the assessment of their reliability and failure mechanisms. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Risk Priority Number (RPN) are widely used methodologies to identify, assess, and prioritize potential failures in PV systems. This review provides an in-depth analysis of failure modes affecting solar PV systems, their impact on system performance, and the effectiveness of FMEA-based risk assessment. The study highlights common failure mechanisms, existing research gaps, and the potential integration of methodologies such as FMEA and RPN analysis to enhance the predictive capabilities of reliability analysis in PV modules. The findings underscore the necessity for standardized FMEA frameworks to improve the long-term sustainability of solar energy solutions.},
