[RE-wrenches] Installations in High Salt Spray Environments

[Bill Hoffer]

Esteemed Wrenches

I have a large 100 kw project coming up in the South Pacific on an Island
and wanted to see what others have been doing in these locations.

Checking the archives it has been awhile since this topic has been
discussed.  I would like an update for best practices and lessons learned
when installing solar in a very high Salt Spray Environments.  With some
modules getting the new IEC 61701 Salt Spray certification  ( Schott ,
Canadian Solar , Evergreen Sanyou HIT, Serephim Solar, Upsolar ) it seems
the industry is starting to pay attention to these locations rather than
writing warranties that give them an out.

Any info on what products have done well ( or not) and best practices to
minimize corrosion issues would be very welcome.

Thanks

Bill
