The faults occurring in the solar PV system are classified as follows: physical, environmental, and electrical faults that are further classified into different types as described
Solar panel defects: A solar panel will produce less than average power if it has faults, such as microcracks, chips, delamination, snail trails (discoloration), and faulty junction boxes. Delamination occurs due to detached solar panels that

The data used is PLTS main equipment specification data and solar radiation data sourced from NSRDB-NREL. One of the most common problems faced in PV plants occurs when solar cells receive non
The most common PV modules are made of wafer-based silicon solar cells. Therefore a large knowledge base has been accumulated for the most PV module failures of this type. However even for this type of PV modules some effects like potential induced degradation and snail tracks have been studied in detail in the last 3 years for the first time.
There are various approaches used for detection of faults and failures in PV cells and modules. These approaches are based on visual inspection, electrical measurements, electromagnetic radiations measurements, and imaging techniques. 6.1. Visual inspection methods
Targeting for Residential Photovoltaic System (RPS) fault detection, an algorithm emphasizing on active and passive parts of the PV system, is used to first diagnose the problem using a base fault diagnosis to check for any fault's alarm signal using an arbitrary data.
Image processing techniques can also be used for automatic detection of faults in PV modules . Several image processing schemes are used in existing studies as below: (1) In , infrared images of a large scale PV system are acquired from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone.
To detect faults on the DC sides of a Grid Connected PhotoVoltaic (GCPV) system, a fault detection algorithm based on T-test statistical method is used to detect different types of physical faults where for a given solar irradiance and temperature inputs, attributes such as voltage and power ratio of the PV strings, are measured.
Therefore, a diagnostic model can identify different PV faults using the established parameter based model, which in turn is composed of an electrical model expressed by an energy balance equation of a PV module .
