Corrosion in solar panels represents a significant challenge that can negatively impact their performance, durability and profitability. Therefore, it is critical to develop advanced materials that are corrosion resistant to ensure the efficiency and longevity of solar PV systems.
The selection of corrosion-resistant materials in solar cell design is crucial for mitigating corrosion-related issues. By choosing materials with high inherent corrosion resistance, the vulnerability of solar cell components to corrosion can be significantly reduced .
One of the key challenges in this detection is solar panel corrosion, a complex process driven by various degradation mechanisms. Investigating solar panel corrosion mechanisms is extremely important to ensure solar panels' longevity and sustained performance for several key reasons.
The metals in solar PV racking and mounting systems can be faced with corrosion if wrong metals are used together. The life of a solar PV system is 25 years, therefore system installers must target a similar life span for the racking materials. How does galvanic corrosion occur?
