This recommended practice establishes recommended procedures and specifications for qualification tests that are structured to evaluate concentrator photovoltaic (PV) receiver sections and modules intended for power generation applications.
Purpose
The qualification tests provided in this document should assist in evaluating concentrator photovoltaic (PV) receiver sections and modules design performance, reliability, safety, and susceptability to known failure mechanisms. Emphasis is placed on testing for potential degradation of receiver section and module performance resulting from environmental weathering, mechanical loading, or corrosion. The procedures given in this rec. practice provide a common approach for conducting module qualification tests. While acceptable results from these tests should provide reasonable assurance that the modules produced by the same processes as those that pass these tests will perform reliably in field after installation, this recommended practice does not address design, safety, or performance of PV systems.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn." The minimum tests and inspections required to evaluate photovoltaic concentrating mod-ules, and a common approach (e.g., between producer and purchaser) in conducting qualificationtests are provided. "
