Solar panel system and method for accelerated regeneration and/or prevention of defects in solar panels

A solar panel installation, comprising at least one solar panel comprising one photovoltaic cell or a plurality of electrically connected photovoltaic cells,

• wherein the at least one solar panel comprises a translucent plate that is provided on the upper side of the at least one solar panel and that protects the one photovoltaic cell or the plurality of electrically connected photovoltaic cells,
• wherein the translucent plate of the at least one solar panel is provided with an electrically conductive layer that is electrically isolated from the one photovoltaic cell or the plurality of electrically connected photovoltaic cells by the translucent plate, and the electrically conductive layer includes an electrically conductive film that covers an entire top surface of the translucent plate and the electrically conductive layer uniformly distributes an electric potential over the upper side of the at least one solar panel as the electric potential is applied to the electrically conductive layer,
• wherein the electrically conductive layer is transparent to light, and
• wherein the solar panel installation further comprises at least one electrically conductive supporting structure in which the at least one solar panel is mounted, wherein the electrically conductive layer is connected electrically to the at least one supporting structure such that an electric potential can be applied to the electrically conductive layer by applying an electric potential to the at least one supporting structure.
