Space engineering - Part 20-08: Photovoltaic assemblies and components

This Standard specifies the general requirements for the qualification, procurement, storage and delivery of photovoltaic assemblies, solar cell assemblies, bare solar cells, coverglasses and protection diodes suitable for space applications.
This standard does not cover the particular qualification requirements for a specific mission.
This Standard primarily applies to qualification approval for photovoltaic assemblies, solar cell assemblies, bare solar cells, coverglasses and protection diodes, and to the procurement of these items.
This standard is limited to crystaline Silicon and single and multi-junction GaAs solar cells with a thickness of more than 50 m and does not include thin film solar cell technologies and poly-crystaline solar cells.
This Standard does not cover the concentration technology, and especially the requirements related to the optical components of a concentrator (e.g. reflector and lens) and their verification (e.g. collimated light source).
This Standard does not apply to qualification of the solar array subsystem, solar panels, structure and solar array mechanisms.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Raumfahrttechnik - Teil 20-08: Fotovoltaische Baugruppen und Komponenten

Ingéniérie spatiale - Partie 20-08: Ensembles et composants photovoltaïque

La présente Norme spécifie les exigences générales pour la qualification, l'approvisionnement, le stockage et la livraison des ensembles photovoltaïques, ensembles de cellule solaire, cellules solaires brutes, couvertures en verre et diodes de protection adaptés aux applications spatiales.
La présente Norme ne couvre pas les exigences de qualification particulières applicables à une mission spécifique.
La présente Norme s'applique principalement à l'approbation de la qualification pour les ensembles photovoltaïques, ensembles de cellule solaire, cellules solaires brutes, couvertures en verre et diodes de protection, ainsi qu'à l'approvisionnement de ces éléments.
La présente Norme est limitée aux cellules solaires en silicium cristallin et en GaAs mono-jonction et multi-jonction, avec une épaisseur supérieure à 50m ; elle ne traite pas des technologies de cellule solaire à film mince et des cellules solaires polycristallines.
La présente Norme ne traite pas des technologies de concentration, en particulier des exigences relatives aux composantes optiques d'un concentrateur (par exemple : réflecteur et lentille) et à leur vérification (par exemple : source de lumière collimatée).
La présente Norme ne s'applique pas à la qualification des sous-systèmes du générateur solaire, des panneaux solaires, de la structure et des mécanismes du générateur solaire.
La présente Norme peut être adaptée aux caractéristiques et contraintes spécifiques d'un projet spatial conformément à l'ECSS-S-ST-00.

Vesoljska tehnika - 20-08. del: Fotonapetostni sestavi in komponente

Standard EN 16603-20-08 določa splošne zahteve za ustreznost, naročanje, shranjevanje in dobavo fotonapetostnih sestavov, sestavov sončnih celic, posameznih sončnih celic, zaščitnih stekel in diod, primernih za uporabo v vesolju. Ta standard ne zajema posebnih zahtev za ustreznost za določeno misijo. Ta standard se uporablja predvsem za odobritev ustreznosti fotonapetostnih sestavov, sestavov sončnih celic, posameznih sončnih celic, zaščitnih stekel in diod ter za nabavo teh elementov. Ta standard zajema le sončne celice iz kristalnega silicija ter enojne in večspojne sončne celice GaAs debeline več kot 50 μm, ne zajema pa tehnologij sončnih celic s tankimi filmi in polikristalnih sončnih celic. Ta standard ne obravnava koncentracijske tehnologije, zlasti zahtev, povezanih z optičnimi komponentami koncentratorja (npr. reflektor in leča) in preverjanjem njihove ustreznosti (npr. kolimiran vir svetlobe). Ta standard ne velja za ustreznost podsistemov sončnih sistemov, sončne kolektorje in strukturo ter mehanizme sončnih sistemov. Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00.
