From backyard tests to PV power plants: Solarzentrum Stuttgart has successfully completed the first drone test flights for electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) inspection under daylight conditions – including meaningful PL results during cloudy winter weather.

After a hailstorm, microcracks in PV modules may remain unnoticed – an electroluminescence inspection makes them visible.

A guideline to prepare the site for a daylight EL inspection, ensuring an efficient workflow and having the site organised afterwards in the interests of the site owner.
