Innovative achievements in hot spot detection of photovoltaic panels
This project presents an IoT platform working on artificial intelligence (AI) which automatically detects hot spots in PV modules by analyzing the temperature differentials between modules exposed to irradiances greater than 300 W/ m2 m 2. . Hot spots are common defects in photovoltaic (PV) modules that can lead to performance degradation and even pose a fire hazard. The modeling of PV modules under normal conditions relies on the. . Infrared thermography (IRT) is a technique used to diagnose Photovoltaic (PV) installations to detect sub-optimal conditions. There are several ways to identify hotspots, including using custom datasets. .

Waste photovoltaic ABS board processing technology
Surface modification techniques such as boiling treatment, Fenton reaction, and microwave-assisted flotation facilitate the selective separation of ABS from mixed plastic waste by enhancing its hydrophilicity. . With over 78 million metric tons of solar panel waste projected by 2050, the management of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) components in crushed photovoltaic materials demands immediate attention. Dissolution-based recycling using solvent and anti-solvent systems enables the recovery. . The growing volume of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules requires the development of efficient recycling strategies to recover valuable materials, minimize environmental impact, and integrate circular economy concept into the field (Preet and Smith, 2024). PV modules are multilayer composite. . The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of electrostatic separation technique to segregate some of the main materials present in silicon-based photovoltaic modules: silver,copper,silicon,glass,and polymers from the back sheet and encapsulating material.
