6. Discussion and comparative analysis The solar panel defects can be classified as optical and electrical-mismatch-related degradation, such as discoloration of the encapsulant, front cover glass breakage, delamination, shading, cell fracture snail trails, poor soldering, broken interconnection ribbons, and short-circuited cells [ 80 ].
Fault analysis in the solar PV arrays is a fundamental task to eliminate any kind of dangerous and undesirable situations arising in the operation of PV array due to the presence of faults. They must be detected and cleared off rapidly.
The keywords used for the search were: Solar panel defect detection; PV module degradation; PV module fault detection, PV module degradation measurement methods, and techniques; Solar cell degradation detection technique; PV module, Solar panel performance measurement, PV module wastage, and its environmental effect, and PV module fault diagnosis.
However, this method is based on expanding a UV beam to illuminate an extensive area of the PV sample, making it troublesome as fluorescence signal (typically small) tends to fade quickly. The least used solar panel defect detection method is the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging technique.
The PV array is composed of solar modules. Each module contains a matrix of solar cells connected in series and parallel to satisfy the terminal properties of the whole generator. Accordingly, the solar cell is the basic element in the PV generator. This element is the basic solar radiation converter into electricity. 1.2. The Solar Radiation
This technique is typically used to identify defects in a PV module, such as structural defects that may arise from imperfect semiconductor processes, unmatched crystalline lattices, or faulty electrical connections [ 44 ].
