  • Method and apparatus for detecting, regenerating and/or preventing defects in a solar panel installation
    Patent number: 10615741
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for detecting, regenerating and/or preventing defects in solar panels of a solar panel installation. In this method, a regeneration voltage is applied between the supporting structure in which the solar panels are mounted, and the negative pole of the solar panels, the positive pole of the solar panels, or both poles of the solar panels, being short-circuited. Additionally, the invention also provides an apparatus for performing said method, and a solar panel installation comprising said apparatus.
    Type: Grant

  • Solar panel system and method for accelerated regeneration and/or prevention of defects in solar panels
    Patent number: 10381976
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solar panel installation, comprising at least one solar panel comprising photovoltaic cells, and a translucent plate on the upper side, wherein the translucent plate is provided with an electrically conductive layer that is provided in order to have an electric potential applied to it and which is electrically isolated from the photovoltaic cells, such that an electric potential applied to the electrically conductive layer will be uniformly distributed over the upper side of the at least one solar panel. In addition, the invention provides a method for applying the electrically conductive layer and for regenerating and/or preventing defects in the at least one solar panel.
