Popular solar company Gautam Solar files for new patent that uses AI-powered algorithms to detect defects in solar PV cells
India’s leading solar company Gautam Solar is known for manufacturing advanced solar modules. The company has recently filed for a patent which unveils company’s new state of the art system that can detect defect in solar panels with the use of Artificial Intelligence. Gautam Solar’s new cutting-edge technology offers better efficiency and accuracy in the manufacturing of photovoltaic cells and further improve its quality with the help of AI.
Highlights
- It uses comprehensive EL testing method which performs 100% EL testing to both post and pre-production stages of manufacturing solar cells.
- The new tech also uses high-resolution infrared cameras to capture more detailed outlook of the EL images of PV cells.
- This system also uses automated defect detection to offer faster identification of the problem and quick response time for resolution.
AI-Powered Defect Detection System from Gautam Solar
According to the company’s filing, the patent is named as “AI-Based System for Detecting Defects in Solar Panels” which uses Electroluminescence (EL) with visual imaging technologies that can offer high-precision and real-time defect analysis.
Key Features
It uses comprehensive EL testing method which performs 100% EL testing to both post and pre-production stages of manufacturing solar cells. The new tech also uses high-resolution infrared cameras to capture more detailed outlook of the EL images of PV cells.
With the integration of machine learning algorithms, this system can analyze images, identify defects, and display results with defect labels and can offer better and instant measures to correct before the cells get manufactured.
This system also uses automated defect detection to offer faster identification of the problem and quick response time for resolution. This system can also identify micro-cracks, broken cells, dry soldering, defects, black borders, minor scratches, and non-functioning cells and makes the task more efficient.
Advantages of This System
This new system can offer immediate solution compared to the traditional defect detection technology used in the manufacturing of PV cells. It also reduces the manual processes done by humans to reduce error time with more automation.
The AI algorithms offer high-precision and consistent results which wasn’t the case with the conventional methods. The new system also offers more efficient solution to the root cause and can maintain strict quality levels while keeping the wastage low.
