Photovoltaic panel defect detection

What is PV panel defect detection?

The task of PV panel defect detection is to identify the category and location of defects in EL images.

How a deep learning algorithm can detect a solar panel defect?

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.

Can photovoltaic surface defect detection be improved?

To overcome the limitation of detection accuracy and speed, an improved photovoltaic surface defect detection method is proposed in this paper. You Only Look Once-v5 (YOLO-v5) is adopted as the main method.

Can a real-time defect detection model detect photovoltaic panels?

Efforts have been made to develop models capable of real-time defect detection, with some achieving impressive accuracy and processing speeds. However, existing approaches often struggle with feature redundancy and inefficient representations of defects in photovoltaic panels.

What is PVL-AD dataset for photovoltaic panel defect detection?

To meet the data requirements, Su et al. 18 proposed PVEL-AD dataset for photovoltaic panel defect detection and conducted several subsequent studies 19, 20, 21 based on this dataset. In recent years, the PVEL-AD dataset has become a benchmark for photovoltaic (PV) cell defect detection research using electroluminescence (EL) images.

How to detect a defect in solar panels?

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.
