Solar Cell Defect Detection Based on Deep Learning Algorithms: A Review
摘要
With the rapid advancement of the photovoltaic industry, the surface quality of solar cell wafers critically affects power generation efficiency and operational lifespan. Traditional inspection methods suffer from low efficiency, inconsistent criteria, and high false detection rates. Deep learning-based surface defect detection offers marked advantages. We systematically examine state-of-the-art techniques, such as YOLO and Mask R-CNN, in terms of detection accuracy, speed, and model lightweighting. By comparing conventional and deep learning approaches, it summarizes current challenges and highlights future directions, including multimodal fusion and edge computing adaptation, to provide theoretical guidance for efficient, accurate, and real-time defect detection.
