In the Albums view, near the bottom of the Utilities section, is a Duplicates view.

After pictures are imported to Photos, they are scanned to see if they are similar or exact duplicates of others. This may take a long time if it's a big Library! In Duplicates you are presented with the two, or sometimes several duplicates, and you can merge them into a single file, or you can hit delete on the one you don't want.

If the Duplicates view isn't shown in the Utilities section, then Photos hasn't found any duplicates, yet.

More information is available here:
