Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Apparatus and methods are presented for determining the condition of photovoltaic modules at one or more points in time, in particular using line-scanning luminescence imaging techniques. One or more photoluminescence and/or electroluminescence images of a module are acquired 5 and processed using one or more algorithms to provide module data, including the detection of defects that may cause or have caused module failure. Also presented is a system and method for determining the condition of photovoltaic modules, preferably throughout the production, transport, installation and service life of the photovoltaic modules.
