The raindrops intercepted by PV panels during rainfall will concentrate along the lower edges of PV panels and fall onto ground surface, causing heterogeneous spatial distribution of rainfall (Barron-Gafford et al., 2019, Jahanfar et al., 2019). Some researches indicated that runoff in slopes or hillslopes can be increased by PV panels.
In this sense, numerous studies have been performed in the past decades to assess the influence on the energy production of crystalline photovoltaic modules of several factors, such as spectral quality of solar irradiance, temperature, wind speed, soiling, snow etc. but so far the effect of rain appears scarcely investigated.
They found that annual surface runoff was increased at the catchment scale as the land use changed from agriculture to PV power plants. However, from another perspective, the interception of raindrops by the PV panels could dramatically reduce the areas where rain splash erosion occurs (Elamri et al., 2018).
Consistent with previous research on the influence of solar intermittency on PV reliability 26, we observe that regions with favorable PV power generation potential tend to experience fewer effects from ELP events.
The PV panel delayed runoff start time under rainfall with heavy rainfall intensities (80 and 100 mm hr-1) due to the overland flow attenuation of the depression beneath the lower edge of the PV panel.
The rainfall-runoff and soil erosion processes of a slope with a PV panel above the middle of it and a control slope with no cover were observed and compared. The result indicated that the PV panel did not have considerable effect on runoff volume, peak flow discharge, and overland flow velocity.
