TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the photovoltaic systems, where the design, operation and maintenance are the key points of these systems, is presented. But, the authors do not focus on the operation of the PV systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the current state of thermographic cameras and UAV technology is described, with the aim of examining the general principles of aerial thermographic measurement and required instrumentation, detailing the most important system aspects, discussing new developments and future trends in aerial thermography sensors and instrumentation.

TL;DR: A simulation program for calculating the IV-curve for series connected PV-modules during partial shadowing has been developed and experimentally validated and can be used for simulating the influence of shading on the power of a string.

TL;DR: A study about the influence of spatial resolution of thermographic images on the severity of failures, evaluating the results obtained in a set of experimental aerial and manual inspections performed in a 3 MW PV plant in Spain.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 60-cells polycrystalline module has been ad hoc manufactured for this research, with different defective and non-defective cells, accessible from the backside of the module and the module includes similar kinds of defects in the same bypass string.
