Using ChatGPT for detecting temperature anomalies in solar cells: potentials and constraints
摘要
This study evaluates the potential of ChatGPT for hotspot detection by comparing its performance with the Geographical Information System (GIS) software to detect temperature outliers in a photovoltaic (PV) cell. ChatGPT demonstrated similar performance to ArcGIS on z-score statistics and spatial distribution of hot and cold spots, but it exhibited a more sensitive detection capability. This study underscores the promise of ChatGPT in hotspot detection, with a high correlation of z-score statistics (R2: above 0.99) and high similarity of spatial distribution (70–97%) to ArcGIS. The preliminary results from our comparative study indicate that ChatGPT holds significant promise for hotspot detection of defective solar panels. It can be considered a complementary tool with potential utility, particularly for users lacking specialized GIS expertise. As multimodal artificial intelligence spreads to the solar energy field, ChatGPT is anticipated to be utilized in exploring temperature outliers generated in solar cells by individuals without specialized GIS expertise.
