LID and module degradtion

[Ana Sofía Lanza]

I ran a simulation with a 30-year projection and, when reviewing the loss diagram, I noticed that the LID degradation (1% in this case) applies not only in the first year, but throughout the 30 years. Is this correct, or am I misinterpreting the result? Highlighted in green.

Furthermore, when reviewing the module degradation loss for year 1, in addition to the 1% LID, the model applies a degradation loss of 0.20%, which corresponds to 50% of the annual degradation rate of 0.40% from year 2 onwards. However, we also note that this same 0.20% appears in the module matrix mismatch loss. Wouldn't this mean that the loss is counted twice? Highlighted in blue.

Could you clarify whether this interpretation is correct and why this is the case?
