Unless inherently corrosion resistant, metals (steel, iron) must have corrosion resistance equivalent to G90 hot dipped galvanized with an average 0.015 mm thick Zn (for underground
Importance of Corrosion Resistance Corrosion can significantly degrade metal components, impacting their performance and structural integrity, which is critical in industries
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
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 installer has to be careful in choosing the right material. We usually suggest using anodized components to prevent corrosion for the PV systems that are near ocean (salt conditions). Below is a list of best practices for corrosion prevention: Use one material to fabricate electrically isolated systems or components where practical.
(iii) Long-term operational data (>20 years): sites in Switzerland, Italy, and Canada show that PV modules degrade at an average rate of 0.5–1% per year, with dominant failure mechanisms being corrosion, encapsulant yellowing, and weld fatigue.
As a rule of thumb, the solar installer has to avoid joining metals that are dissimilar in the Galvanic Series Table. (see below) For example, steel alloy is more anodic (more active) next to stainless steelor aluminum alloyis anodic next to brass.
