Mass SUS304 & SUS316 stainless bolts are used for PV projects. Two delivery states are pickled & passivated or raw without passivation. Non-passivated stainless steel easily generates surface flash rust under coastal salt mist environment. This article compares salt mist performance of pickling passivation, non-passivation and stainless coating solutions, establishes bolt selection standards for i

Zn-Al-Mg PV brackets matched with stainless steel bolts easily generate potential difference galvanic corrosion. EPDM EPDM and PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene are two mainstream insulating gasket materials. This article compares weather resistance, temperature resistance, anti-aging and insulation performance of two gasket types via table, formulates thickness selection standards for inland, riversid

After 3-5 years operation of coastal & tidal flat PV stations, stainless steel bolts rust together with carbon steel brackets, seized threads cannot be disassembled and bring extremely high maintenance cost for bracket replacement. This article analyzes thread seizure corrosion mechanism, compares applicable scenarios of four on-site disassembly tools via table, standardizes full disassembly, rust

PV power stations are divided into four corrosion levels: inland, riverside, coastal and offshore. SUS304, SUS316 and 2205 duplex steel fasteners have distinct chloride resistance gaps.
