Abstract
This paper proposes the PV module fault diagnosis sensor which is applied to Zigbee wireless network, and monitoring system using the developed sensor. It is designed with embedded sensor in junction box. The diagnosis elements for algorithm were voltage and temperature. For that reason, It is able to reduce the price and separate the fault of bypass diode from shading differently from other monitoring systems. This fault diagnosis algorithm verified through the Field-installed operations of PV module.
