During the installation process of the solar system, the use of water guide clamps has a significant impact on the overall performance and life of the system.
Water drainage clips for solar are mainly used to guide rainwater to flow to predetermined drainage channels to prevent rainwater from directly contacting electrical components or other sensitive components of the photovoltaic system.
It is usually located at the joints of pv panels, which can effectively reduce the accumulation of rainwater and the risk of water leakage.
Advantages of using water guide clamps
—-Prevent water leakage and water accumulation
One of the main functions of the water guide clamps is to prevent water leakage. For pv systems without water guide clamps, rainwater may penetrate into the gap between the solar panels and the roof, causing water accumulation or leakage problems under the system. The water drainage clips for solar can guide water to a safe drainage channel to avoid this risk.
—-Extend system life
Moisture intrusion into a system’s electrical components can accelerate their aging, leading to electrical failure or even short circuits. Therefore, the use of water drainage clips for solar can effectively reduce the chance of the electrical system being exposed to moisture, thereby extending the service life of the entire solar system.
—-Improve the convenience of maintenance
The solar system with water guide clamps installed is more regular and rainwater is discharged in a more orderly manner, which reduces corrosion problems caused by water accumulation under the photovoltaic system and also reduces the frequency and complexity of long-term maintenance.
—-Improve power generation efficiency
Long-term water accumulation may cause dirt, dust and other dirt to adhere to the surface of the photovoltaic panels, affecting the light transmittance of the photovoltaic panels, thereby reducing the power generation efficiency. Water drainage clips for solar can keep the surface of photovoltaic panels clean and improve power generation performance by guiding the flow of rainwater.
Taken together, solar systems using water guide clamps perform better in terms of waterproofing, extending system life, reducing maintenance costs, and improving power generation efficiency.
Systems that do not use water drainage clips for solar are more susceptible to problems such as water leakage, water accumulation, and corrosion, which may shorten the life of the solar system and increase daily maintenance work.
Therefore, it is recommended that water guide clamps be equipped during the installation process of the solar system to ensure long-term stable operation of the system.
