Aerial IR Thermography for Solar PV Power Plants

 

 

Aerial IR Thermography for Solar PV Power Plants

 Due to its high testing convenience and efficiency, aerial infrared (IR) thermography has gradually become a standard inspection requirement for power plant commissioning and O&M. But why has this testing method become so popular? What specific issues can thermal imaging actually reveal? 

EL Inspection

 

 

EL inspection is a diagnostic method used to detect defects in solar cells, applicable to every level from individual cells to large-scale module arrays. Currently, 100% full inspection via EL has become standard practice during solar module manufacturing, and its application for on-site module array inspection in power plants is also gaining popularity.

But what exactly is EL inspection, and what kinds of defects can it detect?

PV Module Quality Assurance 

  

"Aren't all solar modules basically the same? Is quality control even necessary?"

As the most critical power-generating component of a solar power plant, any module failure can lead to consequences ranging from financial losses to severe safety hazards, such as electrical leakage or fire. It is certainly not something to be taken lightly.

In this article, we will examine what key aspects need to be controlled in PV module manufacturing—and what risks you face if quality control is neglected.
