The invention discloses a method for testing a photovoltaic module through infrared imagery analysis. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, detecting the appearance of the photovoltaic module, and then testing the power output of the photovoltaic module under the standard testing condition, and testing the open-circuit voltage Uoc and short-circuit current Isc of the photovoltaic module under the standard testing condition; step 2, charging the photovoltaic module with current and voltage by a supply unit, wherein U larger than (1+3%)Uoc, and I is smaller than Isc, and after the component is thermally balanced, shooting the infrared image of the photovoltaic module by a thermal infrared imager; step 3, selecting the temperature testing range according to the infrared image, and calculating the temperature difference between the highest temperature and the average temperature of the photovoltaic module. After the photovoltaic module is powered on to achieve the thermal balance, the infrared image is shot by the thermal infrared imager, and the temperature difference between the highest temperature and the average temperature of the photovoltaic module is calculated, so as to evaluate the capability of withstanding high temperature of the photovoltaic module, and have guiding significance in reduction and prevention of a hot-spot phenomenon.
