Shielding PV against Earth's magnetic field

Researchers in Kenya are seeking to reduce the influence of the Geomagnetic field on PV panel performance by replacing aluminum module frames with a steel cage. They have specified they have been unable to quantify costs related to the solution, and that more research is needed.One of the Kenya-based researchers who has claimed the Earth's magnetic field can affect solar panel performance has spoken to pv magazine about using stainless steel cages as a mitigation measure. David Wafula Wekesa, from the Renewable Energy Research Consortium at the Multimedia University of Kenya said barriers such ...
