Abstract
Photoluminescence imaging of field-installed photovoltaic modules has the potential to be a high throughput on-site inspection technique. A contribution to this development is a noninvasive photoluminescence imaging method that has been proposed recently. It is based on acquiring images during a progressing current–voltage curve sweep, resulting in a detection of a continuously changing photoluminescence signal. From this follows the necessity to employ an alternative algorithm based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, which will contribute to efficient, unsupervised image processing and, thus, easier (in real-time) implementation. The new algorithm separates photoluminescence from the reflected sunlight, similar to the conventional subtraction algorithm. However, it is robust to varying solar irradiance and can process the photoluminescence signal emitted from multiple asynchronized strings. We predict that it will enable unsupervised real-time surveillance and detection of functional anomalies at a low computational cost. It is also more sensitive at segmenting ground-reflected photoluminescence.
