Power Losses From Series Resistances—Analysed Using Daylight Photoluminescence Imaging
A novel method is proposed that uses daylight photoluminescence imaging, acquired with varied current extraction, to calculate the impact of series resistance defects on the maximum power that can be produced by a photovoltaic module. This contactless and automated technique supports quantitative in‐field degradation analysis, for large‐scale ...
