Anti PID solutions for solar power plants

Potential induced degradation (PID) is a phenomenon that has only recently become a concern in the photovoltaic industry. PID impacts the ions of a solar cell and results in the degradation of the output of that cell.

PID can significantly reduce the power output of a photovoltaic (PV) module within the first year of operation, with power losses at the module level as high as 70% in the first 18 months. These module level losses can progress rapidly and become so severe that they affect the performance of an entire system.
