Human society is facing the dual pressure of energy shortage and ecological environment deterioration; global warming has become a hot topic of common concern in the world. As a kind of clean and renewable energy, solar energy has been paid attention to by all countries in the world.
When the solar module is short circuited, the resistance of the single solar cell is too high, resulting in local "hot spot" effect. The application of infrared thermal imager can effectively improve product quality and save cost. There are several advantages in using thermal imagers to inspect solar panels. Abnormal phenomena can be clearly displayed on a clear thermal image, and unlike most other methods, the thermal imager can be used to check the installed solar panels during operation. Finally, the thermal imager can also check large areas in a short time.
The infrared thermal imager can also check the procedure of solar panels. In order to obtain sufficient thermal contrast when checking solar cells in the area, solar irradiance of 500 W / m2 or higher is required. However, in order to achieve the maximum effect, the solar radiation of 700 w! M2 is recommended. Solar irradiance describes the instantaneous power incident on the surface in kW / m2, which can be measured by a total radiometer (for global solar irradiance) or a solar radiometer (for direct solar irradiance). It depends largely on the location and the local weather. Lower external temperatures may also increase thermal contrast.
