4 FAQs about On-site inspection of broken photovoltaic panels

Why is on-site inspection of PV installations important?

There are several factors that drive the motivation for development of efficient on-site inspection of PV installations . Identifying the source of failures became increasingly important following the realization that 2% of PVMs are predicted to fail already after 11–12 years and therefore do not meet the manufacturer's warranty .

Can imaging technologies be used to analyze faults in photovoltaic (PV) modules?

This paper presents a review of imaging technologies and methods for analysis and characterization of faults in photovoltaic (PV) modules. The paper provides a brief overview of PV system (PVS) reliability studies and monitoring approaches where fault related PVS power loss is evaluated.

Why are photovoltaic panels not a good quality?

Due to the high number of photovoltaic panels required for the construction of new solar plants, cases have been observed where the final quality of the product is not as expected. This may be due to manufacturing defects, transport or handling problems, incorrect installation or inadequate maintenance.

Can a photovoltaic fault be displayed thermographically?

Using an infrared camera from InfraTec, faults of new and existing photovoltaic systems can be displayed thermographically.
