Viewing angle and position. The viewing angle and position are important for good thermographic measurement. The camera must be well aligned with the solar panel. Horizontal alignment 60-90°, and the vertical alignment should be close to the angle of solar radiation. Note the thermographer's shadow aligned with the sun in Fig. 12.
Using an infrared camera from InfraTec, faults of new and existing photovoltaic systems can be displayed thermographically. Using an infrared camera from InfraTec, faults of new and existing photovoltaic systems can be displayed thermographically.
For good thermography inspections select a clear, dry day. Measure solar radiation with an appropriate light meter to make sure that the solar radiation is at or above 650 W/m2. In direct sunlight solar panels work at full capacity and damaged solar cells will show clearly on the infrared image.
An overview for infrared thermography (IRTG) detection of PVs is introduced. Classification of IRTG techniques, detected faults are discussed in detail. The manuscript provides a good guide for selecting a proper IRTG system for PV plants.
The thermal imaging system also allows the user to record accurate location data via GPS, which saves a lot of time during the final processing of the data as its measurement protocol. The camera
Thermography is a safe, non-contact measurement method to check groups of circuits and solar panels. The thermal irregularities are apparent on the camera''s screen and dual images can be saved to the
