Corrosion, a Critical Challenge for Photovoltaic Projects
Metal structures in photovoltaic plants are exposed to aggressive environmental conditions that can accelerate corrosion, especially in high salinity areas, humidity, and aggressive soils. If not properly managed, these factors can reduce the lifespan of projects and generate unexpected costs.
How Preventive Corrosion Studies Allow for Greater Durability of Solar Panels?
At Orbis Terrarum, we conduct corrosion studies to identify risks and optimize material selection, ensuring greater durability for photovoltaic structures. Orbis has completed over 150 corrosion studies for clients around the world, providing expert solutions to safeguard solar projects in even the most challenging environments.
Our work includes:
Corrosion in Buried Metal Structures
- Technical inspection of corrosion in metal structures
- Specialized testing of soils and waters to assess their aggressiveness.
- Thickness measurement and evaluation of metallic coatings.
- Analysis of the corrosion rate (microns/year) and determination of root causes.
Predictive and Preventive Planning
- Detailed map of the corrosive potential and corrosion rate at the plant.
- Identification of critical areas and monitoring plans for 3, 5, and 10 years.
- Advice on the selection of materials, metallic and organic coatings.
- Study of the evolution of corrosion products and their impact on durability.
Atmospheric Studies
- Technical inspections of corrosion in exposed metal structures.
- On-site studies using methodologies like Wire on Bolt (ASTM G116-99).
- Exposure of specimens according to ISO 9223, ISO 9224, ISO 9226.
- Accelerated testing in climatic chamber laboratory.
Thanks to our highly skilled team, we provide reliable and tailored solutions to mitigate corrosion and ensure the safety, efficiency, and profitability of photovoltaic projects.
