Infrared lens to measure photovoltaic panels
Contactless machine-vision inspection using photoluminescence (PL) imaging with shortwave infrared (SWIR) cameras can help solar cell producers improve both efficiency and quality of their photovoltaic products. . ty or underperforming modules and stringsin PV power plants. At the same time large solar power plants. . Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, codes of practice, and safety requirements relevant to infrared thermographic inspections of photovoltaic systems. This Provisional Technical Reference was prepared to establish uniform procedures and documentation requirements. . Thermography is a non-invasive inspection technique that can be performed remotely over large areas and provides immediate feedback; because of these characteristics, it has long been used to detect anomalies in photovoltaic panels. It can register and visualize deviations of a few hundreds of degrees. Modern infrared cameras not only record a thermal image, but will take a photographic image at the same time.
