loosening, and deteriorated soldering) or is exposed after raining, thus
leading to increased earth resistance and open circuit.

3. Effects:
Solar arrays/strings are mainly installed in open areas, fields, hillsides and
other places with poor grounding. Lightning during thunderstorms directly
or indirectly hits the solar battery panels, which may cause the grounding
device to catch fire or other safety accidents, affecting solar energy. The
overall operating efficiency of the power plant.
