Güneş enerjisi en önemli yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından biridir, ancak gün geçtikçe kurulum aşamasında bazı arızalar ve sorunlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu sorun ve problemler verimin düşmesine ve üretimde kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Arızaların hızlı ve yerinde tespiti için bazı yöntemler mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada panellerde meydana gelen arızalar EL test yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmiş ve test sonucunda toplam 8 adet arıza tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen hatalar 6 adet çatlak hatası ve 2 adet lehim hatası olarak saptanmıştır. Hızlı arıza tespit ile sahada hatalara müdahale edilmiştir ve enerji kayıplarının önüne geçilmiştir. Sürdürülebilir enerji Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerde önemlidir ve bu kayıplar uygun ve doğru bir arıza tespit yöntemi ile en aza indirilebilir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Fault Detection in Solar Energy System with Electroluminescence (EL) Images

Öz

Solar energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources, but some malfunctions and problems arise day by day during the installation phase. These problems and problems cause a decrease in efficiency and losses in production. There are some methods for fast and on-site detection of faults. In this study, the faults occurring in the panels were examined using the EL test method and a total of 8 faults were detected as a result of the test. The detected faults were determined as 6 crack faults and 2 soldering faults. With rapid fault detection, faults were intervened in the field and energy losses were prevented. Sustainable energy is important in developing countries like Turkey and these losses can be minimized with an appropriate and accurate fault detection method.
