The UVF-Spot is a high-throughput UV fluorescence (UVF) camera system designed to efficiently detect cell cracks, other defects, and bill of materials variations in installed solar modules. This system utilizes a pole-mounted camera and flash to image up to 1,000 modules per hour without the need to disconnect module cables.
Features:
- High Throughput: Capable of imaging over 1,000 modules per hour, significantly enhancing inspection efficiency.
- Non-Contact Detection: Identifies defects such as cell cracks and hot spots without the need to disconnect modules, preserving system integrity.
- Comprehensive Analysis: Assists in identifying variations in the bill of materials, contributing to quality control and performance optimization.
Applications:
- Field Inspections: Quickly assesses installed solar panels for microcracks, hot spots, and material inconsistencies.
- Quality Control: Detects defects that may affect panel performance, ensuring high-quality standards.
- Performance Monitoring: Identifies degradation and failure modes early, enabling predictive maintenance and optimizing solar panel output.
- Bill of Materials Variation: Detects variations in materials, contributing to long-term panel reliability.
- High Throughput: Ideal for rapid inspections in large solar arrays, enhancing maintenance efficiency.
