How to detect leakage of photovoltaic panels
The visual assessment is a straightforward method and the first step to detect some failures or defects, particularly on PV modules. Visual monitoring allows one to observe most external stress cases on PV devices. Besides, this method can provide an overview of the PV system’s condition.

To determine if a solar panel is bad, look for signs such as decreased energy production, physical damage or discoloration, hot spots, potential-induced degradation (PID), and monitoring system alerts.
The Lock-in thermography-based method of fault rectification and detection has proved to be extremely efficient in locating the position of hotspots or regions where the heat is concentrated in the various components that are present in the PV module and also helps to detect the loss of power occurring in the cells present in the panel.
Solar panel fault-finding guide including examples and how to inspect and troubleshoot poorly performing solar systems. Common issues include solar cells shaded by dirt, leaves or mould. Check all isolators are all on, and the circuit breakers have not tripped off. Check the grid voltage on the inve.
This paper aims to review the current state of fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) for PVS based on electrical methods. Different fault types are reported in this paper by presenting for the concerned elements (cell, module, string and array), the cause as well as the effects.
