4 FAQs about [How to prevent rust on solar mounts]

Can solar PV racking corrosion occur?

The metals in solar PV racking and mounting systems can be faced with corrosion if wrong metals are used together. The life of a solar PV system is 25 years, therefore system installers must target a similar life span for the racking materials. How does galvanic corrosion occur?

What is galvanic corrosion in solar PV?

The life of a solar PV system may be seriously effected by galvanic corrosion. The type of metal and the atmospheric conditions such as moisture and chlorides can cause serious structural failures in racking and mounting components.
