Indoor detection method of photovoltaic panels

This physics-based approach is robust, transferable and operational. Over the past decades, solar panels have been widely used to harvest solar energy owing to the decreased cost of silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) modules, and therefore it is essential to remotely map and monitor the presence of solar PV modules.

To address this issue, a new PV panel condition monitoring and fault diagnosis technique is developed in this paper. The new technique uses a U-Net neural network and a classifier in combination to intelligently analyse the PV panel’s infrared thermal images taken by drones or other kinds of remote operating systems.

Recent advances in PV module defect detection methods have accelerated PV systems’ commercial productions and installations, offering numerous economic, social, and environmental benefits. An imaging-based technique to extract spatially resolved information to diagnose photovoltaic (PV) module defects have been widely used in research and .

This paper proposed a framework for photovoltaic panels segmentation and defects detection in module-level using infrared Images through addressing three technical challenges: (1) providing some high-quality infrared images captured by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) during the inspection process; (2) an adaptive U 2-Net network is designed to .

This study explores the potential of using infrared solar module images for the detection of photovoltaic panel defects through deep learning, which represents a crucial step toward enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of solar energy systems.
