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 .
Investigating solar panel corrosion mechanisms is extremely important to ensure solar panels’ longevity and sustained performance for several key reasons. (i) Preservation of energy output: solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into usable energy [1, 2, 3, 4].
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. The interface between the solar cell and the encapsulant or the backsheet is a common location for crevice corrosion.
