Abstract

Electroluminescence (EL) i maging i safas t, well-established, laboratory c haracterization te chnique for photovoltaic (PV) mod ules th at ty pically requires e xpensive equipment. H ere, we p resent a n ovel 1 ow-cost extensible EL imaging technique that utilizes a mod ifled camera and auxiliary hardware to automate EL imaging of field-deployed PV modules.
