Abstract

A method for detecting a fault in a solar panel in a solar farm is disclosed. In some examples, the method includes obtaining, by a computing system (), a first image of the solar panel captured by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) () during a first flight and a second image of the solar panel captured by the UAV () during a second flight. In some examples, the method also includes determining, by the computing system (), a first score for the solar panel based on the first image and determining a second score for the solar panel based on the second image. In some examples, the method further includes determining, by the computing system (), whether the solar panel has the fault based on the first score and the second score and outputting an indication that the solar panel has the fault in response to determining that the solar panel has the fault.
