Traditional methods for photovoltaic panel defect detection primarily rely on manual visual inspection or basic optical detection equipment, both of which have significant limitations. Manual inspection is inefficient, prone to subjective bias, and often fails to identify subtle or hidden defects.
To achieve efficient detection of photovoltaic panel defects, this study builds a lightweight object detection model based on YOLOv11n, 11 optimizing the backbone architecture through the integration of the CFA and C2CGA modules.
However, PV panels are prone to various defects such as cracks, micro-cracks, and hot spots during manufacturing, installation, and operation, which can significantly reduce power generation efficiency and shorten equipment lifespan. Therefore, fast and accurate defect detection has become a vital technical demand in the industry.
To meet the data requirements, Su et al. 18 proposed PVEL-AD dataset for photovoltaic panel defect detection and conducted several subsequent studies 19, 20, 21 based on this dataset. In recent years, the PVEL-AD dataset has become a benchmark for photovoltaic (PV) cell defect detection research using electroluminescence (EL) images.
