This technology develops advanced polarimetric imaging for rapid and effective solar module inspection.  Conventional based approaches are based on human inspection, which are expensive, slow and intrusive.  Preliminary studies show Polarimetric imaging results provide significant improvement in defect detection and can enable autonomous PV inspection with high speed, low cost, and high accuracy.

Perovskite solar modules can be manufactured in the United States and cost 1/10 of conventional silicon solar cells. This manufacturing process utilizes low-cost equipment that can produce large volumes of high-quality solar cells.
