In this study, a novel system for discovering solar cell defects is proposed, which is compatible with portable and low computational power devices. It is based on K -means, MobileNetV2 and linear discriminant algorithms to cluster solar cell images and develop a detection model for each constructed cluster.
To this end, we propose the design and implementation of an end-to-end system that firstly divides the solar panel into individual solar cells and then passes these cell images through a classification + detection pipeline for identifying the fault type and localizing the faults inside a cell.
Electroluminescence (EL) imaging provides a high spatial resolution for inspecting photovoltaic (PV) cells, enabling the detection of various types of PV cell defects. Recently, convolutional neural network (CNN) based automatic detection methods for PV cell defects using EL images have attracted much attention.
However, traditional object detection models prove inadequate for handling photovoltaic cell electroluminescence (EL) images, which are characterized by high levels of noise. To address this challenge, we developed an advanced defect detection model specifically designed for photovoltaic cells, which integrates topological knowledge extraction.
Therefore, it is essential to detect defects in photovoltaic cells promptly and accurately, as it holds significant importance for ensuring the long-term stable operation of the PV power generation system.
The convolution-based attention mechanism in MSCA effectively aggregates the texture structures of local defects and differentiates between pixel points, making it particularly adept at detecting less conspicuous photovoltaic cell defects.
