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.
During the thermal process, the applied current can cause local heating in solar cells, potentially leading to high series resistance that exceeds the maximum set temperature. The magnitude of this current depends on the absorber material.
The reviewed literature also indicates that the PV system's effectiveness decreases as the module temperature increases. Hence, without any cooling measures, efficiency is typically reduced from 0.03 to 0.05% for every 1 °C rise in temperature. Implementing cooling techniques for PV panels can lead to increased energy gains.
Using corrosion-resistant materials for solar panel construction is crucial for reducing vulnerability to corrosion . Stainless steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys for frames and conductive materials with protective coatings for electrical contacts can significantly prolong the panel's lifespan. 5.2.
