Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualification and type approval - Part 2: Test procedures
IEC 61215-2:2016 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 and thermal 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 in general open-air climates. The actual lifetime expectancy of modules so qualified will depend on their design, their environment and the conditions under which they are operated.
Terrestrische Photovoltaik(PV)-Module - Bauarteignung und Bauartzulassung - Teil 2: Prüfverfahren
Modules photovoltaïques (PV) pour applications terrestres - Qualification de la conception et homologation - Partie 2: Procédures d'essai
L'IEC 61215-2:2016 est destinée à s'appliquer à tous les matériaux de modules à plaque plane au silicium cristallin pour applications terrestres (p. ex.: types de modules au silicium cristallin et modules à couches minces). L'objet de cette séquence d'essais est de déterminer les caractéristiques électriques et thermiques du module et de montrer, dans la mesure du possible avec des contraintes de coût et de temps raisonnables, que le module est apte à supporter une exposition prolongée aux climats généraux à l'air libre. La durée de vie réelle des modules ainsi qualifiés dépendra de leur conception, ainsi que de l'environnement et des conditions d'exploitation.
Prizemni fotonapetostni (PV) moduli - Ocena zasnove in odobritev tipa - 2. del: Preskusni postopki
Ta skupina mednarodnih standardov določa zahteve IEC glede ocene zasnove in tipske odobritve prizemnih fotonapetostnih modulov, primernih za dolgotrajno uporabo v običajnih okoljih na prostem, kot je opredeljeno v standardu IEC 60721-2-1. Ta del standarda IEC 61215 je namenjen za uporabo za vse materiale ploščatih prizemnih modulov, kot so vrste modulov iz kristalnega silicija in tankoplastni moduli.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za module za uporabo s koncentrirano sončno svetlobo, lahko pa se uporablja za nizkokoncentracijske module (1 do 3 sončni viri). Za nizkokoncentracijske module se vsi preskusi izvedejo s tokovno, napetostno in močnostno ravnjo, ki so pričakovane pri načrtovani koncentraciji.
Namen tega preskusnega zaporedja je določiti električne in toplotne lastnosti modula ter prikazati (kot je mogoče v razumnih stroškovnih in časovnih omejitvah), da lahko modul prenese učinke dolgotrajne izpostavljenosti v običajnih okoljih na prostem. Dejanska pričakovana življenjska doba tako ocenjenih modulov je odvisna od njihove zasnove, okolja uporabe in pogojev delovanja.
