The solar panel structure is exposed to environmental loading and temperature variation that can drive fatigue, loosening at joints, and long-term deformation.

The system voltage of solar panels drives a leakage current between the solar cells and the grounded metal frames. This results in many different forms of potential induced degradation, including shunting, polarization,1 delamination, and corrosion.
