Adapting Facilities for IEC62108 Testing
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: The first edition of the IEC 62108: “Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and assemblies – Design qualification and type approval” was published on December 2007, being its main purpose to determine electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics of CPV modules and to probe their capability to withstand prolonged exposure in moderated climats. Although based on the philosophy of IEC-61215 for flat plate modules, there are important differences derived of the special features of CPV receivers and modules, particularly with regard to the separation of on-site and in-lab tests, effect of tracking alignment, high current density, and rapid temperature changes in the samples among others, which have resulted in the formulation of some new test procedures or new requirements
