Figure 5. Defects in IR Imaging: (a) breakage of front glass; (b) overheated cell due to internal cell problems; (c) hot spot; (d) overheating due to external shading; (e) open junction box and overheated diode; (f) overheated junction box; (g) overheating due to shading by neighboring PV module row; (h) overheated bypass diode [56]. Colors from green to red indicate cold to heat-up (defected) areas. Images serve as indicative depictions of the specified defects in IR imaging, and the letterings within them are of no significance.
