Abstract In order to address the challenges posed by complex background interference, high miss-detection rates of micro-scale defects, and limited model deployment efficiency in photovoltaic (PV) module defect detection, this paper proposes an efficient detection framework based on an improved YOLOv11 architecture. First, a Re-parameterized Convolution (RepConv) module is integrated into the backbone to enhance the model’s sensitivity to fine-grained defects—such as micro-cracks and hot spots—while maintaining high inference efficiency. Second, a Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Convolutional Block Attention Mechanism (MSFF-CBAM) is designed to guide the network toward critical defect regions by jointly modeling channel-wise and spatial… More >
