CSIRO’s thermal-sensing robots detect solar module faults in landmark Australian trial

CSIRO’s thermal-sensing robots detect solar module faults in landmark Australian trial

The technology represents an advancement in addressing the labour-intensive and hazardous nature of manual solar PV power plant maintenance. “Hotspots decrease the efficiency of a PV panel over time, because of the electrical and thermal imbalance they cause within the module,” said Kenrick Anderson, senior photovoltaic scientist at CSIRO. “If solar farms cost less to
