The image gallery below demonstrates the use of EL for solar cell inspection to find non-uniformities, cracks, defects, mismatched cell efficiencies, and the limited usefulness of thermal imaging for these applications. SWIR video scanning over the length of a commercial 36 cell panel while forward biased with 18 V.
Beyond finding physical defects, SWIR solar cell inspection of electroluminescence (EL) and/or photoluminescence (PL) permits actively finding problems that will hurt cell or system power output.
InGaAs cameras are ideal for use by the solar industry for cell inspection due to their high Quantum Efficiency for the wavelengths that the silicon and other solar cell material luminesce as illustrated by the graph below: Both Sensors Unlimited 1D and 2D cameras can be used for electroluminescence inspection of photovoltaic solar cells.
The right-hand image was taken with a thermal microbolometer, which exposes little or no detail. InGaAs cameras are ideal for use by the solar industry for cell inspection due to their high Quantum Efficiency for the wavelengths that the silicon and other solar cell material luminesce as illustrated by the graph below:
