What Do You Concern Most When Installing PV Panels On Rooftops? Price? Quality? Safety?
There is no doubt that these three aspects always first come to mind for anyone considering installing solar mounting structures. And it is precisely these three points that are the advantages of ZIYAUN. Here, we’re gonna foucus on and talk about the safety issues every house owner should know before installation.
CEA (Clean Energy Associates) stated that it had performed over 600 rooftop PV safety audits in 14 countries, with 97% of them boasting major safety concerns: Enclosure Hotspots, Cables On Sharp Edges, Improperty Assembled Connections, Grounding Issues, Water ingress, Damaged Modules, Cross-Mated Connectors, Poor Terminations, Module Hotspots, Broken/Damaged Connectors, , .
①Grounding issues were caused by incorrect designs, moisture or water intrusion, installation plans not followed by the crew, and problems overlooked by installation quality control personnel.
These factors could lead to several consequences, such as hazardous equipment current leakage and increased maintenance and system down time from inverter faults. But more importantly, it could endanger onsite personnel.
②Damaged modules were found to be a common issue among 47% of rooftop PV projects after grounding issues. Besides the extreme weather like hail or wind, electrical short circuits in the module, incorrect installation or cleaning methods, including walking on modules, were one of the major reasons. Leaving the lower the performance of modules aside by microcracking, there might be also electrical fault and shock, and fire safety risks.
③Cross-mated connectors were the third most common safety problem, which could lead to water intrusion and corrosion, along with arcing in connector housing, potentially leading to a fire.
④Other safety concerns included poor terminations, improperly assembled connectors, and module hotspots…What Does ZIYUAN do to address those problems?
