Detecting faulty EL photos with machine learning (ML)
Can two EL photos of two panels be identical? No. Every EL (electroluminescence) photo is different. What if the same photos come from the factory for different serial numbers? EL photos coming out of solar panel…

Pushing the Limits in Electroluminescence (EL) Testing of Solar Panels
How should the hand test be done? How much detail do we need in the EL photo? We were puzzled by many questions, such as, if we can take a photo to see what details we can see, we can see whether it complies with the…

Pyranometer or Reference Cell? Is expensive always good?
When we want to forecast production or calculate PR, the first question we ask when we are presented with data is the source of that data. Did you take it from the pyranometer or from the reference cell? They both…
