This session discusses luminescence imaging and its ability to reveal otherwise invisible defects, electrical losses, and performance variations associated with degradation across utility-scale solar farms, enabling faster quantitative diagnostics, targeted maintenance, and more informed asset management.
Key points include:
•Why luminescence image data should be part of comprehensive quality assessment, given its unique ability to detect performance-limiting and safety-relevant defects that visual and thermal inspections may miss
•How aerial drone-based luminescence image data capture can provide a fast, scalable, and cost-effective solution for utility-scale solar farms
•How innovative daylight photoluminescence imaging solutions can enable image data acquisition during normal plant operation and avoid the need for nighttime inspections
