I''ve personally tried cleaning the panels with various mild cleaning products, scrubbing them with microfiber cloths, but to no avail as the spots appear to be etched into the glass. I don''t want to
Customer ServiceYou can detect an emerging hot spot with an infrared camera only. Eventually, hot spots in solar panels become visible to the eye: the problematic cell becomes brownish. Hot spots lead to a faster solar panel degradation and can even start a fire on your roof. To avoid that, clean your panels from dirt every now and then.
To identify solar panel delamination, conduct a thorough visual inspection of the solar panels. Look for any signs of bubbles, blisters, or separations between the layers of the panel, or discoloration or dark spots on the panel's surface. Also, electroluminescence (EL) testing can reveal delamination, by capturing images of the panel in the dark.
Hot spots, one of the most common issues with solar systems, occur when areas on a solar panel become overloaded and reach high temperatures relative to the rest of the panel. When current flows through solar cells, any resistance within the cells converts this current into heat losses.
Hotspots occur when specific cells within a solar panel become overheated due to localized shading, dirt, or manufacturing defects. These hotspots can lead to irreversible damage to the affected cells and reduce the overall output of the panel. To identify hotspots, use thermal imaging during the day when the panels are under full sunlight.
In some cases, severe discoloration could potentially indicate damage, although the presence of discoloration does not necessarily imply a solar panel defect. The most common defects in solar panels include issues such as hot spots, snail trails, and imperfections in the materials.
There are several tell-tale signs from reviewing solar monitoring data or visual inspections that solar panels are underperforming. A significant drop in energy production compared to the PV system's rated capacity clearly indicates underperformance. Monitor solar energy production regularly and compare it with the expected output.
