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.
Electrochemical corrosion is the most common and insidious degradation process affecting solar panels. It involves redox reactions between solar cell's metal contacts and the surrounding environment. Moisture, humidity, and temperature fluctuations contribute to the formation of localized electrochemical cells on solar cell surfaces .
Moreover, backsheet degradation can cause delamination, exposing solar cells to environmental elements and accelerating their deterioration. (iii) Electrical performance: corrosion of electrical contacts can increase electrical resistance, leading to power losses and hotspots within the panel.
Moreover, sunlight's ultraviolet (UV) radiation can initiate photochemical reactions that exacerbate corrosion. Crevice corrosion occurs in confined spaces or crevices between different components of the solar panel assembly. These crevices trap moisture and pollutants, creating localized environments conducive to corrosion.
