The present invention relates to a photovoltaic panel inspection method and system, based on luminescence measurements, comprising covers that can be switched between two opacity states, to be arranged over a part of the module and cover a group of panel cells, and a casing that covers part of a cell of the group of cells and cell capture means located in the casing, to obtain images of the luminescence emitted by the second cell and a microprocessor to obtain the luminescence, from images obtained for the phases of different opacity of the covering means and determines the state of the photovoltaic panels based on the variation of luminescence.
