Abstract
A method for locating a faulty photovoltaic (PV) panel includes controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to fly and perform image capturing, obtaining image information of the PV panel captured by a camera carried by the UAV, obtaining global positioning (GPS) information of the UAV and attitude information of the camera at a shooting time when the camera captures the image information, and, in response to determining that the image information includes fault information of the PV panel, determining a position of the PV panel according to the GPS information of the UAV and the attitude information of the camera at the shooting time.
