Solar module detection system

Abstract

A solar module detection system is provided. The solar module detection system includes a visible light image capturing device, a thermal image capturing device, a carrier, and a host. The visible light image capturing device captures a visible light image of a solar module along a moving path. The thermal image capturing device captures a thermal image of the solar module along the moving path. The carrier carries the visible light image capturing device and the thermal image capturing device and moves the visible light image capturing device and the thermal image capturing device according to the moving path. The host identifies a thermal abnormality condition of the solar module from the thermal image, determines a defect type of the thermal abnormality condition according to the visible light image, and displays the thermal abnormality condition and the defect type.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 109115046, filed on May 6, 2020. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The disclosure relates to a detection system, and in particular, to a solar module detection system that performs detection on a solar module.2. Description of Related Art[0003]In the related art, detection on a solar module may use a thermal image of the solar module in operation to determine whether the solar module has an abnormality and performs an appropriate operation on the abnormality.[0004]However, the thermal image may change as affected by the environment and distances. For example, the thermal image may change due to shade of another subject, and a misjudgment on an abnormality condition is thereby produced. For another example, in the case that the therm...

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a solar module detection system that can improve accuracy and reduce operation time by using a carrier to carry a visible light image capturing device and a thermal image capturing device. The system can capture the visible light and thermal images of the solar module as it moves. By analyzing the thermal image through the visible light image, the system can determine the type of defect in the solar module and improve accuracy of detection.

Problems solved by technology

For another example, in the case that the thermal image is obtained by using a handheld thermal imager, the handheld thermal imager may receive sunlight reflected from the solar module due to an excessively short distance.

In addition, when a solar module with a large area is to be detected, a long period of operation time for obtaining the thermal image of the solar module in operation is required.
