The image processing topics for damage detection on Photovoltaic (PV) panels have attracted researchers worldwide. Generally, damages or defects are detected by using advanced testing equipment
A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell (PV cell), is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. It is a form
In the photovoltaic industry, imaging is a widely established tool to assess and inspect the quality of PV modules and solar cells. For a general overview and references to established methods aiming at detecting certain defects and issues such as micro-crack detection using anisotropic diffusion as in machine vision [] or inspection of electrical contacts [], we refer to [].
The reduction in cell fabrication cost is a major goal of research and development. The solar cells not only have to be cheap, but they also have to be reliable and highly efficient. The design paramters for obtaining high efficient cells,as derived from the physics underlying the performance of the silicon solar cells are not always compatible with low cost production and high reliability.

The intermittent and stochastic nature of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) necessitates accurate power production prediction for effective scheduling and grid
Even though constructing a solar tracker and processing its photovoltaic energy have been largely documented (e.g., , [10, Sec. 3], , , , ), we bring to this paper certain concepts that seem novel for the education of photovoltaics. For instance,
processing operations are applied to PV panels to determine defects or damaged areas/panels. The proposed method can be utilized in real-time to determine the damaged areas and count the number of damaged panels.
