Implication

Comparative evaluation demonstrates enhanced fault classification in photovoltaic modules via texture feature fusion, highlighting the diagnostic value of surface degradation patterns.

Key Points

To develop a photovoltaic module fault classification framework that integrates surface texture metrics with deep neural representations to better identify complex physical defects.
Extracted image texture metrics from photovoltaic defect images using the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM).
Designed a feature fusion module to integrate GLCM texture statistics with global deep features generated by a ResNet50 convolutional neural network.
Benchmarked diagnostic performance against four classical classification models on a dedicated module fault test dataset.
The texture-enhanced deep learning architecture outperformed all four classical baseline models across accuracy and recall metrics.
Explicit integration of texture features substantially boosted model sensitivity when distinguishing overlapping degradation patterns, such as shadowing and aging.
