Abstract

In this paper a dataset consisting of 2,426 solar cells extracted from high-resolution electroluminescence (EL) images is used for automated defect probability recognition. The collected images contain both functional and defective solar cells with varying degrees of degradation both in monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar modules. The images were labeled by expert who categorized the solar cells by the likelihood of a defect within each image. The labeled images can be used for development of computer vision and machine learning methods for automatic detection of different defects, like cracks, fracture interconnects, PID, and cell quality and for the purpose of predicting the power efficiency loss.
