The detection of micro cracks on the surface of solar cells is very important to improve the durability of photovoltaic modules. In this paper, Haar feature extraction and kernel fuzzy c-means clustering algorithms are proposed to detect the defects of solar cells. Haar extended template is used to extract the edge features as training samples, combined with kernel fuzzy c-means clustering (KFCM) algorithm and improved Xie Beni index to detect the surface defects of solar cells. The recognition rate of no defects is 98%, and the recognition rate of vertical finger defects is 97%, The recognition rate of microcrack is 93%, and that of fracture is 92%.
