However, these solutions can merely identify the PV cells with defects without the determination of defect types. The study in Luo et al. (2016) proposed a solution for finger
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are becoming increasingly popular because they offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution for generating electricity. PV panels are the most critical components of PV
However, the aforementioned studies solely classified defects in PV cells into functional and defective types without delving into a comprehensive discussion on intricate defect types.
Besides, this method can provide an overview of the PV system''s condition. Some visible defects in PV modules are bubbles, delamination, yellowing, browning, bending, breakage, burning,

PV ARRAY FAULT. The seven types of PV array faults which are discussed in the following section are: Earth fault, Line-to-Line fault, Bridging fault, Open circuit fault, Arc
This paper conducts a state-of-the-art literature review to examine PV failures, their types, and their root causes based on the components of PV modules (from protective glass to junction box). It outlines the
The identification of failures and defects is the first step for maintaining the PV system in high-performance condition. Operation and maintenance (O&M) are defined as decisions and methods to control energy
The faults occurring in the solar PV system are classified as follows: physical, environmental, and electrical faults that are further classified into different types as described in this paper. Once a fault is located and detected, an appropriate diagnosis method needs to be used to rectify it.
Failures & Defects in PV Systems: Typical Methods for Detecting Defects and Failures Generally,any effect on the PV module or device which decreases the performance of the plant, or even influences the module characteristics, is considered a failure. A defect is an unexpected or unusual happening which was not observed on the PV plant before.
Reduced real time power generation and reduced life span of the solar PV system are the results if the fault in solar PV system is found undetected. Therefore, it is mandatory to identify and locate the type of fault occurring in a solar PV system.
Sometimes these batteries can become faulty and the main reason for this is abnormal charging conditions. The seven types of PV array faults which are discussed in the following section are: Earth fault, Line-to-Line fault, Bridging fault, Open circuit fault, Arc fault, Bypass diode fault and Junction box fault.
The faults in the PV panel, PV string and MPPT controller can be effectively identified using this method. The detection of fault is done by comparing the ideal and measured parameters. Any difference in measured and ideal values indicate the presence of a fault.
Apart from the faults occurring due to environmental and physical factors, electrical faults are also very common in PV systems. Most of electrical faults are caused mainly due to improper or loose connections of conductors or poor soldering between joints.
