摘要

Electroluminescence (EL) imaging serves as a valuable modality for scrutinizing photovoltaic (PV) modules, offering high spatial resolution capable of detecting even the most subtle defects on module surfaces. However, manual analysis of EL images is inherently expensive, time-consuming, and demands expertise across various defect types. Ensuring efficient defect detection in solar cell manufacturing is imperative for stable green energy technology production. Implementing anomaly detection techniques for PV cells can yield substantial cost savings in operation and maintenance (O&M). The study highlights the importance of detecting defects, in cell manufacturing and maintaining PV power stations effectively due to the difficulties in EL image analysis and the rapid changes in the industry landscape using advanced technologies like convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Introducing the Bat Algorithm enhanced CNN model (BA-CNN), the research focuses on identifying and categorizing defects, in PV cells. The BA-CNN demonstrates an accuracy of 98. It surpasses Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG16) and outperforms MobileNet variants with lower averages of around 90 and 83 respectively. This highlights the models suitability for use in quality control systems and its practical application in projects. According to the research, researchers emphasize the BA-CNNs tradeoff between performance and computational efficiency that is crucial, for solar cell manufacturing.
