Furthermore, we explore the strategies and technologies employed to prevent and control corrosion in solar cells, including the use of protective coatings, encapsulation techniques, and corrosion-resistant materials.
Corrosion in solar cell panels can have severe con-sequences on their performance and durability. The figure highlights the detrimental efects of corrosion on various components of the solar cell panel. Moisture and oxygen enter through the backsheet or frame edges, as depicted by the arrows, and infiltrate the encapsulant-cell gap.
One of the primary concerns related to moisture-induced corrosion is the degradation of metallic contacts and interconnects in solar cells . These components, typically made of metals such as silver, copper, or aluminum, are vulnerable to corrosion in the presence of moisture.
By understanding the corrosion mechanisms in silicon solar cells and implementing efective prevention strategies, it is possible to enhance the durability, reliability, and over-all performance of solar cells, extending their operational lifespan and maximizing their energy conversion eficiency.
This review aims to enhance our understanding of the corrosion issues faced by solar cells and to provide insights into the development of corrosion-resistant materials and robust protective measures for improved solar cell performance and durability.
In the case of solar cells, corrosion can occur in several compo-nents, including the metal contacts, interconnects, and pro-tective coatings. Corrosion mechanisms commonly observed in solar cells include galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion, pitting corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking [77–127].

What Materials Are Used in Solar Panels? A Detailed Look
Today, solar cells are about 22 percent efficient. This highlights how crucial material choice is. Traditional silicon-based solar cells turn about 1.1 eV from sunlight into electricity, losing the rest as heat. But, new materials like tetracene could boost solar cell efficiency by working with silicon.

A principle goal of value engineering is to deliver long-term performance and reliability at the lowest cost practicable. One effective way to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) in large-scale or commercial and industrial (C&I) solar applications is to strategically substitute less-expensive aluminum conductors in place of more expensive copper conductors.
