Ok so its a reading night. There are a bunch of very good papers about this effect on all the different types of modules. www1.eere.energy.gov/…dfs/pvmrw2011_p25_tf_dunn.pdf Best summary of Soaking would be : controlled exposure to light under controlled environmental conditions. The "soaking" seems to come from exposing the panel to light for --extended-- periods. Thus finding the effects on the panel after it has reached a critical point of light exposure. Like a sponge, the panel has been fully soaked with light. Then they observe effects. Some pretty interesting effects in some panels.
