The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:

Text Correction

  • Section 5: The introductory text in Section 5 has been modified to more original content.
  • Section 5.1 (Sections 5.1.2–5.1.9): In order to avoid similarities with other relevant work on the same subject, these subsections have been revised, while preserving the original information.
  • Section 5.2 (Sections 5.2.1–5.2.3): In order to avoid similarities with other relevant work on the same subject, these subsections have been revised, while preserving the original information.

Figure Updates

4.
Section 5.1.4: In order to pursue originality, Figures 4 and 5 were replaced with equivalent, original images.
5.
Section 5.1.5: In order to pursue originality, Figures 6 and 7 were replaced with equivalent, original images.
The corrected figures appear below.

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.
