Traditional PV inspection methods using direct current polarisation have proved unreliable in detecting certain issues. Researchers from Enertis Applus+ detail a new approach to defect detection aimed at improving the efficiency of PV system maintenance and performance analysis.
With solar operations and maintenance experiencing significant price pressure, adequate fault detection that occurs as quickly as possible has become increasingly important for asset operators. Here, 3E’s Julien Deckx explores early fault detection strategies for solar PV plants.
