New research shows all the challenges that smart inverters will have to face in the next decades, including cybersecurity issues and increasing manufacturing costs.
The main risks and challenges include fire, natural hazards like hail, wind, snow, and rainwater, overloading the roof, theft and vandalism, and liabilities exposures.
It examines exposure to hazardous materials such as lead, cadmium, and silicon during the manufacturing process, as well as the risks of falls, electrical hazards, and other workplace accidents during installation and maintenance activities.
To evaluate these concerns, screening-level risk assessment methods are presented that can estimate emissions that may occur when broken PV modules are exposed to rainwater, estimate the associated chemical concentrations in soil, groundwater and air, and finally compare these.
