In order to avoid such accidents, it is a top priority to carry out relevant quality inspection before the solar panels leave the factory. For the defect detection of solar panels, the main traditional methods are divided into artificial physical method and machine vision method.
The results of comparative experiments on the solar panel defect detection data set show that after the improvement of the algorithm, the overall precision is increased by 1.5%, the recall rate is increased by 2.4%, and the mAP is up to 95.5%, which is 2.5% higher than that before the improvement.
Any kind of damage to the surface of the solar panel will result in a loss of a generation of power and a lower yield. Defects are created by mechanical and chemical environmental forces that stress the panel when it is functioning in the field. These natural causes include snow, sun, wind, and extreme cold.
With the deepening of intelligent technology, deep learning detection algorithm can more accurately and easily identify whether the solar panel is defective and the specific defect category, which is broadly divided into two-stage detection algorithm and one-stage detection algorithm.
Defects are created by mechanical and chemical environmental forces that stress the panel when it is functioning in the field. These natural causes include snow, sun, wind, and extreme cold. This research proposes strategy based on MLTs to analyze power data and forecast defects and maintenance needs in solar power facilities.
Tsuzuki K et al. proposed to use the relationship between the voltage and current obtained on a specific semiconductor after a bypass diode or solar cell element was supplied with forward current or voltage to enable the detection of its defects. Esquivel used contrast-enhanced illumination to detect solar panel crack defects.
