UV Fluorescence for Defect Detection in Residential Solar Panel Systems

Andrew M. Gabor et al.

Summary: UV Fluorescence (UVF) is a new non-contact method for detecting cracked cells in solar panels, showing high applicability and information value in residential rooftop inspections. The pole-mount UV-flash camera system successfully captured useful UVF images, revealing cracked cells, hot spot cells, and other potential issues like junction box heating and sealing problems. This suggests that the UVF system is a valuable tool for assessing residential panel designs and ages, providing complementary information to Electroluminescence imaging.
