The audio overview of the sources is a two-part series from the YouTube channel "Energy Risk Engineering Lessons" focusing on risk management for solar energy. The first video, "Solar Power for Risk Engineers," provides an overview of common risks associated with solar farms, including:•Snake bites 1•Hail damage 2•Wind damage 3...•Flooding 5•Fires originating from both natural sources and the solar equipment itself 5...•Microcracking 2...•Cable damage8•Transformer failures 8 The video discusses the causes of these risks and strategies for mitigating them, including:•Hail and wind stow systems 3...•Vegetation management 5...•Regular inspections and electrical testing 11•Proper maintenance of electrical equipment 12...It emphasizes the importance of addressing these risks to prevent energy loss and ensure the longevity of solar facilities. The video also includes a detailed example of a large hail loss event, and the challenges faced in sourcing replacement panels and managing the claim process.The second video, "Solar Summer School 2024 - The Year of Fire and Ice," summarizes key learnings from site visits to numerous solar facilities across the United States. It highlights the effectiveness of hail stow systems in preventing damage from severe hailstorms and provides insights into managing vegetation to mitigate wildfire risk, including the use of gravel roads as firebreaks and the potential of sandbags as a fire suppression tool....The video also addresses the issue of PV fires originating from the solar equipment itself, emphasizing the importance of:•Addressing mismatched connectors Inspecting jumpers for tightness and potential rubbing. Maintaining air filters and fans to prevent overheating. The video explores emerging technologies like thermal scanning robots and drones for proactive risk management, as well as the role of standards and testing in ensuring the reliability and resilience of solar equipment...
