Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualification and type approval - Part 2: Test procedures

IEC 61215-2:2021 is available as IEC 61215-2:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 61215-2:2021 lays down requirements for the design qualification of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in open-air climates. This document is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules. The objective of this test sequence is to determine the electrical characteristics of the module and to show, as far as possible within reasonable constraints of cost and time, that the module is capable of withstanding prolonged exposure outdoors. This second edition of IEC 61215-2 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61215-2 issued in 2016. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a. Addition of cyclic (dynamic) mechanical load testing (MQT 20). b. Addition of a test for detection of potential-induced degradation (MQT 21). c. Addition of test methods required for bifacial PV modules. d. Addition of test methods required for flexible modules. This includes the addition of the bending test (MQT 22). e. Revision of simulator requirements to ensure uncertainty is both well-defined and minimized. f. Correction to the hot spot endurance test, where the procedure for monolithically integrated (MLI) thin film technologies (MQT 09.2) previously included two sections describing a procedure only appropriate for silicon modules. g. Selection of three diodes, rather than all, for testing in the bypass diode thermal test (MQT 18). h. Removal of the nominal module operating test (NMOT), and associated test of performance at NMOT, from the IEC 61215 series.

Modules photovoltaïques (PV) pour applications terrestres - Qualification de la conception et homologation - Partie 2: Procédures d'essai

IEC 61215-2:2021 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61215-2:2021 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 61215-2:2021 établit les exigences concernant la qualification de conception des modules photovoltaïques terrestres appropriés à un fonctionnement de longue durée dans des climats à l’air libre. Le présent document est destiné à s'appliquer à tous les matériaux de modules à plaque plane pour applications terrestres, tels que les types de modules au silicium cristallin et les modules à couches minces. L'objet de cette séquence d'essais est de déterminer les caractéristiques électriques du module et d’indiquer, dans la mesure du possible avec des contraintes de coût et de temps raisonnables, que le module est capable de supporter une exposition prolongée en site naturel. Cette deuxième édition de l’IEC 61215-2 annule et remplace la première édition de l’IEC 61215‑2 parue en 2016. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente. a. Ajout de l’essai de charge mécanique cyclique (dynamique) (MQT 20 - Module Quality Test, essai de qualité du module). b. Ajout d’un essai de détection de la dégradation induite par le potentiel (MQT 21). c. Ajout de méthodes d’essai exigées pour les modules PV bifaces. d. Ajout de méthodes d’essai exigées pour les modules flexibles. Cette disposition inclut l’ajout de l’essai de flexion (MQT 22). e. Révision des exigences du simulateur pour assurer à la fois la définition appropriée et la réduction le plus possible de l’incertitude. f. Correction de l’essai de tenue à l’échauffement localisé, dont la procédure pour les technologies à couches minces à intégration monolithique (MLI - monolithic integration) (MQT 09.2) comprenait précédemment deux sections décrivant une méthode uniquement adaptée aux modules en silicium. g. Choix de trois diodes, plutôt que de toutes les diodes d’essai, pour l’essai thermique de la diode de dérivation (MQT 18). h. Suppression de l’essai nominal de fonctionnement du module (NMOT - nominal module operating test), et de l’essai associé de performances à la température nominale de fonctionnement du module (NMOT - nominal module operating temperature), issus de la série IEC 61215.
