Potential-induced degradation
The PID-s that occurs in modules in negative polarity strings can be completely prevented if an inverter is used with the possibility of grounding (or effectively grounding) the positive or negative pole. This is possible if the inverter is galvanically isolated, e.g. using a transformer, if specially designed transformerless inverter topologies are used, or by altering the electric grid potential to ground. Which pole must be grounded, is clarified with the solar module manufacturer. The easiest and very effective
How to Prevent and Repair PID (Potential Induced Degradation) in
Potential Induced Degradation (PID) is a performance-degrading phenomenon in photovoltaic (PV) modules, where voltage potential differences between the solar cell and the frame
Causes and Solutions of the Potential Induced Degradation (PID) Effect
Potential induced degradation (PID) is a phenomenon that arises over time (months or even years). It may be negligible in the plant''s early stage but, over time, becomes more noticeable
