Aluminum-framed modules often use stainless steel fasteners and bonding plates to create electrical pathways. These points can suffer from crevice corrosion, which both weakens the mechanical joint and interrupts bonding. . When designed, installed and maintained properly, solar photovoltaics (PV) systems can be successfully placed in these challenging locations. It leads to corrosion and eventually to the failure of a PV module. Corrosion in photovoltaic modules will lead to a reduction in module power output and affect the entire output of your system.
