In my talk „Clever fault detection in PV-plants“ we will first look at standard-measurements (flasher-measurements, peak-power measurements at site and thermography measurements).
Then electroluminescence measurements are focused. It is shown, how EL-pictures can be optimized even with relatively cheap camera devices.
Afterwards, the phenomenon of potential-induced-degradation is shown and explained.
Finally, we look at dark characteristic-curve-measurements, which is a method to determine solar module faults very quickly.
