Abstract

The aim of the paper is to propose a procedure

to process InfraRed (IR) images of PV modules. In fact, when

an IR image is acquired by thermo-camera, three possibilities

can happen. The first one regards the acquisition of an IR image

of a well-working PV module; in this case the IR image reveal

no anomaly. The second case regards the acquisition of an IR

image of a bad-working PV module; then, the IR image reveal

clearly the anomaly. The third one regards the acquisition of an

IR image, which gives no clear information about the health of

the PV module. In this last case, the uncertainty can be totally

or partially removed only after filtering and processing the IR

image. Proposed procedure and tools have been applied on IR

images of real PV modules.
