EL imaging is a well-established, non-destructive, and non-contact method with high resolution, capable of accurately identifying various defect types within photovoltaic cells.
Micro cracks are tiny tears in solar cells stemming from haphazard shipping and installation or defects in manufacturing. While these micro-cracks do not lead to immediate energy production loss, weather changes, and general wear and tear can contribute to their growth over time and make them a more significant issue.
