This paper presents a defect analysis and performance evaluation of photovoltaic (PV) modules using quantitative electroluminescence imaging (EL). The study analyzed three common PV technologies: thin-film, monocrystalline silicon, and polycrystalline silicon.
Based on electroluminescence theory (EL, Electroluminescence), this article introduces a daytime EL test method using a near-infrared camera to detect potential defects in crystalline silicon solar panels. At the same time, the causes are analyzed and summarized based on the defects found during the component testing process.
PV modules often develop defects during manufacturing and operation, leading to power loss. While some defects can be visually inspected, accurately assessing defects requires precise measurement and modeling techniques. EL imaging is a highly effective technique used for identifying and analyzing defects in PV modules.
Classifying defects in photovoltaic modules is essential for understanding their effects on overall energy generation. Different types and severities of defects, such as cracks, PIDs, LeTID etc. can significantly affect module performance. Even minor defects can aggregate to impact the global energy output of photovoltaic systems.
