The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to BrightSpot Automation LLC to develop a photoluminescence (PL) imaging method for detecting damage to cadmium telluride solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in the field. The proposed project would design, fabricate, and test a non-invasive, high-throughput imaging tool, and develop artificial intelligence software to correlate specific types of defects with changes seen in the PL data.
