Solar Technology Test Chambers

Terrestrial thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules, type suitability and type approval are described in IEC standards; these Product Image (Main)comprise different processes for testing of the suitability of the design; however, they have identical temperature and humidity testing procedures.

Climatic testing for PV modules:

  • Temperature shock cycling test (10.11)
  • Humidity freezing test (10.12)
  • Damp heat test (10.13)

Tests for fulfilling of the requirements are:

  • Determination of the maximum output
  • Determination of the temperature coefficients
  • Measurement of the nominal operating cell temperature
  • Performance under standard testing conditions
  • Performance at nominal operating cell temperature
  • Hot spot endurance testing
