An approach for Intelligent detection of dirty PV panels using image processing with YOLOv8

By Khushalchand S. Sharma and Shrikant Chavate

Abstract: The efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is greatly affected by the condition of panel surfaces, as dust buildup and other impurities can noticeably reduce power output. Traditional maintenance methods rely largely on manual inspection, which can be subjective, inconsistent, and impractical for large-scale installations. To address these challenges, this work investigates a deep learning-based…
