4 FAQs about PID phenomenon of photovoltaic panels

Are you experiencing a PID effect in a photovoltaic plant?

In case you are dealing with unexpected and unreasonable power loss in your photovoltaic plant, you may be experiencing the PID effect in the PV modules. Potential induced degradation (PID) is a phenomenon that arises over time (months or even years).

What is PID in solar panels?

PID occurs in solar panels when an electrical potential is created between the solar cells and the frame of the panel. This potential is typically induced by the voltage difference between the cells and the grounded frame of the panel.

What causes PID in solar cells?

The electric potential difference causes leakage currents to flow from the module frame to the solar cells (or vice versa, depending on the module position in a module string), which results in PID.

Is PID a problem in PV modules?

PID is a complex phenomenon that can significantly impact the performance and lifespan of PV modules. While progress has been made in understanding and mitigating PID, there are still several areas that require further investigation and action. Our recommendations to address PID in PV modules are as follows:
