Myanmar solar cell defect problem

A defect is an unexpected or unusual happening which was not observed on the PV plant before. However, defects often are not the cause of power loss in the PV plants: they affect PV modules, for example, in terms of appearance (Quater et al.,2014). There are various diagnostic tools and methods to identify defects and failures on PV devices ...
