Engineering Resilience in Solar Energy: A Systems Perspective on Performance and Reliability
As the global energy landscape shifts toward sustainability, solar panels have emerged as one of the most widely adopted renewable technologies. Converting sunlight into electricity is well understood, but often the long-term performance of solar installations hinges on a complex interplay of mechanical, electrical, civil/structural and material systems. For engineers, developers, and asset managers, understanding these interdependencies is critical to ensuring reliability over the typical 20- to 25-year design life of a solar facility.
