However, a sudden change in temperature and power occurs at 25% shading due to current mismatch and reverse bias voltage in the solar cells. The temperature reaches its maximum value at 40% shading, but starts to decrease when the shading range exceeds 60%, attributed to a decrease in Joule heat generated by the shaded cells.
When thermal scanning any of the equipment you need to note your irradiance at the time of the scan. On a solar panel you will need to shoot the panel hot cell and surrounding cell to find the differential temperature (Δt) as this is going to let you know if it is a serious issue or not. Here are some of the basic guidelines from our experiences:
In cases where there is an obvious issue on the thermal data, but nothing visible on the RGB data, the cause is most likely a physical issue within the PV module that needs to be fixed, which is most common in thermal anomalies such as bypasses.
If there is a problem that goes undetected and is left in the system, it can lead to a fire which is very dangerous and is also very costly. The use of the thermal imagery with the other data collected on a site is an invaluable tool to determining the health of the installed photovoltaic system. We will answer the following questions:
The localized heating caused by partial shading can potentially raise the cell temperature above the upper limit of the packaging material, resulting in detrimental effects on the solar cell encapsulation structure and even irreversible damage to the cell itself .
Based on the experimental and simulation results, it was found that small-area shading has minimal impact on the temperature and power of photovoltaic modules. However, a sudden change in temperature and power occurs at 25% shading due to current mismatch and reverse bias voltage in the solar cells.
