In-Field Testing

Electroluminescence Imaging
See what’s behind the Glass

PV Modules which appear identical and undamaged might contain damaged solar cells, bad contact fingers or bus-bars. Depending on the damage, this leads to significant reduction in output power.

We use advance Electroluminescence imaging (EL imaging), which require use of INGAAs SWIR Cameras, to verify Solar cell integrity and see through what naked eyes cannot; kind of like taking an X-Ray of the Modules. The image on the left shows two identical PV Modules. One of which has suffered damage during shipment. Can you identify which panel is which?

Thermal Imaging
The thermographic inspection of photovoltaic systems allows the fast localization of potential defects at the cell and module level as well as the detection of possible electrical interconnection problems. The inspections are carried out under normal operating conditions and do not require a system shut down. Classification and assessment of the anomalies detected require a sound understanding of solar technology, knowledge of the system inspected, and additional electrical measurements.
Thermal imaging is not just limited to inspection of PV modules, it can be used to carry out inspections for switchgears, electrical terminations fuses, MC4 connectors and diodes. This is particularly useful to spot components that are overheating and are prone to premature failure.
When used properly, thermal imaging is an effective tool to identify faults at an early stage, requiring zero downtime and quickly narrow down the arrays with defects. Our team identifies these and further carries EL imaging and IV tracing and informs the clients on the next steps
