Sun Simulation and UV irradiation - Test systems for Photovoltaic Modules

PV-modules are expected to work perfectly for more than 20 years, at environment conditions that are permanently changing and often quite adverse. Therefore the PV-modules have to be tested under extreme conditions in order to ensure that they have the required quality.
The testing procedure also includes various qualification tests regarding the artificial load of the materials used for PV-modules. These tests are defined in the standards IEC 61215 and IEC 61646.
In response to these requirements the Dr. Hönle AG has developed irradiation systems based on IEC 61215 / IEC 61646, which can primarily be used for tests like light soaking, hotspot or UV-preconditioning.
