What kind of thermal camera are you using for this kind of inspection?
Satisfied? Comments?

Loaded modules will have hotter cells. I know this from searching for
bad cells with a thermal camera. At open circuit I could not see a
difference, but short circuit or loaded I could see 20 - 30 C increase
in mismatched cells .

Folks,
Two identical PV modules are mount in an identical fashion and
exposed to identical irradiance.
One module is open circuit. The other is connected to a load and
producing power.
Is there a difference in the temperature of the two modules? If
so, which one is cooler?
