According to statistics, more than 40% of the world belongs to hot and humid climate zones. In China, 84% of industrial and commercial enterprises are located in humid coastal areas, and the humidity can be as high as 60% - 90%, sometimes even close to 100% during the "Hui Nan Tian" (a regional humid weather phenomenon). High humidity air will form a continuous water film on the surface of the PV module, which not only reduces light transmission, but also accelerates the aging and cracking of the module due to water infiltration, resulting in a significant decrease in photovoltaic conversion efficiency.
In humid environments, the rust and corrosion of metal components is particularly prominent, often leading to poor contact, abnormal increase in resistance and other systematic failures. From a safety perspective, high-humidity conditions significantly elevate the risks of electrical fires and electrocution accidents in photovoltaic brackets solar power generation system.
Therefore, in the design and operation and maintenance phases of solar power plants, humidity factors must be fully considered and targeted protection mechanisms must be constructed to cope with complex environmental challenges:
1. Adopt structural waterproofing solutions
Utilize barrier materials and metal components with both high light transmittance and excellent water-blocking properties to effectively prevent water from penetrating into the interior of the module. Moreover, improvements are made to the module frame and support structure. Specifically, by adopting a multi-seal structural design and scientifically enhancing the drainage system of the support structure, the efficiency of water vapor dispersion is improved, thereby reducing the formation of water films.
2. Strengthen the protective performance of equipment
Priority is given to the use of moisture-resistant, moisture-resistant, highly insulating characteristics of the electrical components and materials. Implement anti-corrosion measures for metal components, including the application of anti-rust coatings and the use of corrosion-resistant stainless steel materials. Establish regular insulation testing and maintenance mechanism to ensure long-term stable operation of equipment.
3. Establish a safety management system
Build a perfect monitoring system, real-time monitoring of the operation status of the solar power plant, regular inspection of equipment, timely detection and treatment of potential safety hazards; the development of targeted emergency plans to improve the power plant to deal with emergencies in response to the response and disposal capacity.
Humid environment poses a serious challenge to solar power plant operation & maintenance. By implementing the aforementioned measures, we can effectively mitigate the impact of humidity on PV power plants, enhancing their reliability and safety. In the future, as technology advances and experience accumulates, we will provide stronger safeguards for the sustainable development of solar power plants.
