Traditional methods for photovoltaic panel defect detection primarily rely on manual visual inspection or basic optical detection equipment, both of which have significant limitations. Manual inspection is inefficient, prone to subjective bias, and often fails to identify subtle or hidden defects.
However, PV panels are prone to various defects such as cracks, micro-cracks, and hot spots during manufacturing, installation, and operation, which can significantly reduce power generation efficiency and shorten equipment lifespan. Therefore, fast and accurate defect detection has become a vital technical demand in the industry.
