Abstract

The present paper reports the corrosion performance results of construction materials employed for the manufacture of mounting assemblies for ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power stations. For this purpose, the corrosion behavior of industrial hot-dip Zn-coated steel sheets was compared with that of Magnelis® type steel coating. Experiments involved samples in continuous exposure in 3 wt% NaCl solution along with regular assessment of their corrosion parameters by means of major (impedance spectroscopy, linear and Tafel polarization plots) electrochemical techniques. Analyses of surface/cross-sectional morphology and elemental compositions of metal-coated samples were carried out by means of SEM and EDX spectroscopy techniques.Graphical ᅟ
