Corrosion in Photovoltaic Plants: A Technical Challenge That Requires Expertise

Why is this analysis crucial?

It’s fundamental to assess the environmental conditions where a photovoltaic plant will be installed. Our atmospheric and soil corrosion analysis enables owners, EPCs, and operators to anticipate the degradation of structural and electrical materials.

Additionally, it:

• Facilitates the selection of suitable materials and coatings from the design stage.

• Optimizes investment in structures, foundations, and cabling.

• Contributes to regulatory compliance and the potential extension of the project’s service life.

• Enables preventive maintenance planning based on solid technical criteria.

Our experience spans diverse climatic and geological conditions. Recently, we’ve conducted studies in highly corrosive environments such as Uzbekistan and the UAE.

The growth of renewable energy generation is not limited to Europe. In the United Arab Emirates, for example, renewable energy capacity grew by 70% in 2023, reaching 6.1 GW, with projections to achieve 32% of the national energy mix by 2030—equivalent to 14 GW.

Thanks to our team’s commitment and expertise, we are delivering our services in these countries, contributing to the development of sustainable energy projects.

At @OrbisTerrarum, beyond corrosion studies, we offer an integrated solution throughout the entire project lifecycle:

• Geotechnical and geophysical studies

• Hydrological analyses

• Pull-out and ramming tests

• Laboratory testing

• Technical field support

Having a single technical partner ensures methodological consistency, time efficiency, and guaranteed quality in all critical data for the design, execution, and operation of your plant.
