Galvanised roofs with aluminium-framed solar panels attached will rust. Read on, and I’ll explain why this happens, what to do if you already have a galvanised roof, and how to buy a shiny metal roof that won’t rust when you add solar panels.
Author: Ph.D. Yolanda Reyes, March 24, 2024. Corrosion in solar panels represents a significant problem in the solar energy industry, caused by exposure to aggressive environmental conditions. Corrosion in photovoltaic modules will lead to a reduction in module power output and affect the entire output of your system.
Rainwater is the electrolyte, and runoff from the aluminium solar panel framing forms aggressive corrosion where it drips onto the galvanised roofing material. You don’t have to be a roofer to recognise that the Australian landscape isn’t well suited to slate or timber shingles. As a solar installer, I appreciate that.
Intense solar radiation can also trigger chemical reactions that lead to corrosion of materials, especially on exposed surfaces and protective paints. Extreme temperature changes, such as those experienced in desert climates, can also cause expansion and contraction in materials, which increases susceptibility to corrosion.
The impact of corrosion depends on the item being attacked – a large steel beam, or a small electrical connection. With regards to solar PV grounding and bonding, small electrical connections are the targets of corrosion, and the impact of such failed connections could be extensive. 1. INTRODUCTION
