Capability to perform a full verification in extreme conditions beyond than required at the IEC standards, ideal for high demanding product development.
CPV - Quality Assurance Programme
Quality Assurance Programme for Concentrator Photovoltaic Modules (CPV)
IV Curve – Obtained from a AAA Class Solar Simulator, able to determine power response curves as well as all parameters from PV modules at a temperature range from -10 ºC to + 70 ºC.
Spectral Response – Determined with a AAA Class Solar Simulator coupled with a set of filters that ables to perform a spectral response characterization from 400 nm to 1100 nm.
Electroluminescence – With a 1024 x 1024 high resolution camera able to achieve a sensibility of 80% at 750 nm.
Salt Corrosion – Salt Spray Chamber able to perform Salt Corrosion and Cyclic and Corrosion Tests to module sizes of 2,16 x 1,32 m.
Mechanical Load – Laboratory simulation of wind and snow loads able to perform tests above 5400 Pa, as required at the IEC standards.
Thermal Cycles – Large sized and high yield Climatic Chambers able to perform cyclic thermal test in a temperature range from -45 ºC to 150 ºC.
UV Preconditioning – Self made Chamber verified with a calibrated spectrometer that simulates years of sun exposition in just a few testing days.
