Testing the insulation resistance of solar panels is a critical procedure to ensure the safety, reliability, and efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) system. Proper insulation prevents leakage currents, which can degrade performance and pose safety risks.
Since the insulation resistance measurement is only performed once or twice per day, the measurement circuit will require a relay switch that can continuously withstand the rated voltage of the PV panel when the relay is opened, with very small off-state leakage current. During the measurement, the relay is switched on and closed.
Presumably, it can be inferred from this that solar panels consistently have considerable resistance (relative to their rated voltage) when not illuminated— otherwise, having different light intensities on the parallel modules would cause significant current and waste heat to go through the panels at a lower voltage. Is this correct?
How does the resistance theoretically behave for most commercially available photovoltaic modules, when an external DC voltage is applied to them, with and without illumination? It''s common to wire solar panels of the same voltage in parallel, in order to provide greater current or greater resilience to partial shade.
