Research reveals rates and types of rooftop PV connector failures
Analysis of more than 6,000 rooftop PV connectors shows that tight wire bending radius, extra dirty connectors, and loose nuts are the most common failure causes.A group of scientists from the United States Department of Energy’s Sandia National Laboratories has conducted a failure analysis of 6,276 PV connectors used in rooftop solar systems in an effort to increase publicly available data on the rates and types of connector failures. “The pri…
Researchers at Sandia National Labs have created a new set of data on the rates and types of failures in roof photovoltaic connectors. Their analysis has shown that the reduced bending radius of cables, very dirty connectors and loose nuts are the most common causes of failure in 6276 connectors installed between 2014 and 2017 in seven regions of the United States. A group of scientists from the Sandia National Laboratories of the U.S. Departmen…
