Abstract

The chapter discusses the mechanism of eddy currents generated by lightning electromagnetic fields in photovoltaic modules. It presents a computational model to simulate these currents and their effects on the module's performance. The study focuses on the aluminum foil and aluminum-back surface field (Al-BSF) solar cells, highlighting how these components are affected by eddy currents. The analysis shows that eddy currents can significantly reduce the induced voltage in PV modules, thereby protecting them from lightning damage. The chapter also examines the role of aluminum foil embedded in PV backsheets in mitigating induced voltages and discusses the optimal design considerations for such foils. The research provides valuable insights into enhancing the resilience of photovoltaic systems against lightning strikes.
