Electroluminescence (EL) imaging is a photovoltaic (PV) module characterization technique, which provides high accuracy in detecting defects and faults, such as cracks, broken cells interconnections, shunts, among many others; furthermore, the EL technique is used extensively due to a high level of detail and direct relationship to injected carrier density.

Electroluminescence (EL) imaging (Fuyuki et al., 2005, Fuyuki and Kitiyanan, 2009) is another established non-destructive technology for failure analysis of PV modules with the ability to image solar modules at a much higher resolution. In EL images, defective cells appear darker, because disconnected parts do not irradiate.
Electroluminescence and infrared imaging are non-destructive measurement techniques. These types of optical measurements provide fast, real-time and high resolution images with a two-dimensional distribution of the characteristic features of PV modules .
Although EL images taken on a set of PV modules before their installation could be very useful in case of legal actions against producers, since production defects can be clearly distinguished at that time, EL imaging is usually requested by customers at a much later stage, after detecting an unexpected low power output of their PV parks.
Electroluminescence imaging usually only qualitatively maps the local electrical performance of photovoltaic modules. For example, due to their low luminescence intensity, cell cracks as well as
High resolution electroluminescence (EL) images captured in the infrared spectrum allow to visually and non-destructively inspect the quality of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Currently, however, such a visual inspection requires trained experts to of PV modules from various sources, for which the camera parameters may not be available, or when
Photovoltaic (PV) modules are devices designed to transform sunlight into electricity. However, they can also work in the same way as a LED: By applying a polarization current, the solar
The appearance of PV modules in EL images depends on a number of different factors, which makes an automated segmentation challenging. The appearance varies with the type of semiconducting material and with the shape of individual solar cell wafers. Also, cell cracks and other defects can introduce distracting streaks.
In this study, an Andor iKon-M camera and an image acquisition tool provided by Andor have been utilized to obtain electroluminescent images of a full-sized multicrystalline PV module at regular intervals throughout an accelerated lifecycle test (ALC) performed in a large-scale environmental degradation chamber. Electroluminescence imaging can be used as a non
Electroluminescence (EL) images enable defect detection in solar photovoltaic (PV) modules that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye, much the same way an x-ray enables a doctor to detect cracks and fractures in bones.
In photovoltaic (PV) applications the most widely used methods are electroluminescence (EL), where an external forward bias is applied and photoluminescence (PL), where the excitation is by external illumination.
We introduce an approach to determine the operating voltage of individual solar cells in photovoltaic (PV) modules by electroluminescence (EL) imaging.
