In the rapidly evolving field of solar energy, Photovoltaic (PV) manufacturers are constantly challenged by the degradation of PV modules due to localized overheating, commonly known as hotspots. This issue not only reduce the efficiency of solar panels but, in severe cases, can lead to irreversible damage, malfunctioning, and even fire hazards.
A hot spot is a high temperature area on the PV module that may cause serious damage on the solar cells and other elements on the modules (see Figure 4). In case of a mild hot spot, power loss might have a negligible effect on module performance, but if severe enough, it can burn the module packaging, causing complete failure.
