with the vigorous development of the photovoltaic industry, photovoltaic modules are the core components of photovoltaic power plants. due to the large number of auxiliary materials in the modules, the defects of the auxiliary materials of the modules and the overall problems caused by them may accelerate the aging of the modules, cause the efficiency to drop or fail. therefore, how to ensure the long-term quality and overall performance of auxiliary materials is the key to testing the production level of components. when the module attenuation exceeds expectations, the efficiency of the photovoltaic power plant system will also drop significantly. during the production, transportation, installation and operation of modules, due to uncertain factors such as equipment, technology, materials, management, and personnel, quality problems and hidden dangers may occur in modules. product certification and testing have introduced relevant standards to ensure that the performance of photovoltaic modules can cope with various climatic environments. modules can be fully tested according to standards such as iec 61215 and iec 61730.
noa photovoltaic laboratory can conduct related tests of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, thin film photovoltaic modules, and concentrated photovoltaic modules. the testing capabilities cover all mainstream standards at home and abroad. while ensuring sufficient test capacity, for perc, heterojunction and other emerging new technologies, we have corresponding equipment upgrades and technical capabilities upgrades and have successfully completed tests, including iec 61215-2:2021 terrestrial photovoltaic (pv) modules-design qualification and type approval, iec 61701 photovoltaic (pv) modules - salt mist corrosion testing, iec 61730-2:2016 photovoltaic (pv) module safety qualification – part 2: requirements for testing, iec ts 62782-2016 photovoltaic (pv) modules – cyclic (dynamic) mechanical load testing, iec/ts 62804-1:2015 photovoltaic (pv) modules – test methods for the detection of potential-induced degradation – part 1-1: crystalline silicon – delamination, gb/t 9535-1998 crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic(pv) modules-design qualification and type approval, iec61853-1:2011 photovoltaic (pv) module performance testing and energy rating – part 1: irradiance and temperature performance measurements and power rating and other standards, obtained cma, cnas and other relevant qualifications, and can provide effective inspection and test reports.
