6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel infrared thermal imaging cracks]
How do PV panels differ from infrared thermal imaging?
In contrast to infrared thermal imaging detection in PV panels, the detection of electronic components differs due to their complex and intricate structures. Often, external excitation is required to induce heating for these electronic components.
Can thermal imaging be used to identify a solar PV module?
One of the significant challenges is the fault identification of the solar PV module, since a vast power plant condition monitoring of individual panels is cumbersome. This paper attempts to identify the panel using a thermal imaging system and processes the thermal images using the image processing technique.
Does a thermal image indicate a fault in a PV panel?
Considering that the change of the visual image does not necessarily mean the presence of a fault in a PV panel, the thermal image of the PV panel is more favoured in the practice of PV panel condition monitoring (Kandeal et al., 2021a).
How can IRT be used to detect and diagnose defects in PV panels?
The integration of IRT with deep learning plays a pivotal role in detecting and diagnosing defects in PV panels [115, 116]. Initially, the technique of IRT is employed to capture thermal images of the PV panels.
Can IRT and deep learning help detect defects in PV panels?
In summary, the fusion of IRT and deep learning offers an efficient and highly accurate solution for detecting defects in PV panels. It holds the potential to play a crucial role in the monitoring and maintenance of PV energy systems.
