Project: Contactless Laser Induced Photoluminescence Imaging for Drone-Based Photovoltaic inspection

Acronym LIPI (Reference Number: 114518)
Duration 30/09/2020 - 30/09/2023
Project Topic The aim of the project is to develop a dronebased solution for fast and accurate inspection of photovoltaic (PV) plants in operation. The technology builds on a combination of a line laser and a short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera, where the latter is sensitive to where silicon reemits the laser light. By scanning with the laser and camera over the PV panels high resolution images can be obtained showing microcracks and faults even before they become critical to energy production fully contactless
