In southern Spain, the durability of photovoltaic installations is compromised by structural corrosion, a phenomenon that even affects structures that are less than four years old. This is evidenced by the deterioration of a hot-dip galvanized steel profile and to face this challenge, Orbis Terrarum proposes a solution in the maintenance of the structures.
This electrochemical approach opens the door to predictive and preventive maintenance strategies, responding to the growing market demand for solutions that not only preserve, but potentially extend the lifetime of photovoltaic installations.
Solution to “corrosion in structures” of photovoltaic plants
Corrosion represents one of the biggest challenges for the global PV industry. This issue raises concerns both in the acquisition phase of existing assets and in the installation, development and maintenance of new facilities.
The tendency to minimize initial construction costs has resulted in an adverse effect on long-term durability. Because soil corrosion of the soil jeopardizes the integrity of the metal structures that support the solar panels.
Alberto López Chinarro, General Director of Orbis Terrarum points out that his corrosion department has developed a method with the support of its own laboratory, to prevent and mitigate this challenge, offering long-lasting, cost-effective and efficient solutions on a global scale.
A study to improve photovoltaic plants
Taking proactive measures is crucial to ensure a sustainable future for solar energy. Collaboration and commitment to innovations such as the one proposed by Orbis Terrarum are essential to overcome this challenge and ensure the long-term viability of PV plants.
