Deterioration Diagnosis of Solar Module Using Thermal and Visible Image Processing

Several factors cause the output degradation of the photovoltaic (PV) module. The main affecting elements are the higher PV module temperature, the shaded cell, the shortened or conducting bypass diodes, and the soiled and degraded PV array. In this paper, we introduce an image processing technique...
