Ground Erosion
Ground Erosion
Ground Erosion
Ground Erosion Is a process caused by water and wind that occurs naturally
and can have a deleterious effect on a Solar Energy Plant as a loss of topsoil
can lead to reshaping of the ground and create channels, holes and slopes in
earth causing racking and subsequent loss of optimum power generation.
Erosion can also lead to flooding and equipment damage.

Racking Erosion
Racking Erosion
Racking Erosion
Racking causes structural degradation and can alter proper water and wind flow
which will require urgent costly maintenance – as racking moves, panels are moved
from their optimal positioning resulting in a loss of energy generation.

Dust coating solar panels is the single largest factor preventing them from operating at their maximum capacity –
the absorption of sunlight on the surface of a panel reduces the amount of light reaching the cells causing
a reduction in the peak power generated as studies have proven.

Dust prevention is essential to keep the surface of the Solar Panels Dust Free ensuring high
performance and maximum efficiency, an extremely important factor due to the high cost
and short lifespan.

Solution: Surface Treatment of EBS Soil Stabilizer Surface Treatment of EBS Soil Stabilizer Solution: Surface Treatment of EBS Soil Stabilizer

Treating the solar farm and surrounding area with a topical EBS Soil Stabilizer
Surface Seal and treating all access roads, servitudes and pathways with EBS
will allow for a Dust Free area, treating the surrounds will significantly reduce
fugitive dust resulting in improved performance of the solar panels whilst
simultaneously increasing their life span.
