Overview

Experimental results demonstrate interactions affecting solar panel glass surfaces, indicating potential vulnerabilities.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate how electromagnetic radiation and charged particles affect the surfaces of K-208 glass used in solar panels.
  • Tested K-208 glass samples in a vacuum of 10–4 Pa
  • Exposed samples to electromagnetic radiation along with electrons and protons of specific energies (40 and 20 keV)
  • Analyzed irradiated surfaces using atomic force microscopy to observe structural changes.
  • Formation of electrostatic discharge traces observed on glass surfaces
  • Gas-filled bubbles detected on irradiated K-208 glass samples
  • Indications of significant surface alterations due to exposure to space conditions.
