Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and assemblies - Design qualification and type approval

Specifies the minimum requirements for the design qualification and type approval of concentrator photovoltaic modules and assemblies suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates. The test sequence is partially based on that specified in IEC 61215. Determines the electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of the CPV modules and assemblies and shows that the CPV modules and assemblies are capable of withstanding prolonged exposure in climates described in the scope.

Konzentrator-Photovoltaik(CPV)-Module und -Anordnungen – Bauarteignung und Bauartzulassung

Modules et ensembles photovoltaïques à concentration - Qualification de la conception et homologation

Spécifie les exigences minimales pour la qualification de la conception et l'homologation des modules et ensembles photovoltaïques à concentration pour une utilisation de longue durée dans les climats généraux d'air libre. La séquence d'essais est issue partiellement de celle spécifiée dans la CEI 61215. Détermine les caractéristiques électriques, mécaniques et thermiques des modules et ensembles CPV et montre que les modules et ensembles CPV sont aptes à supporter une exposition prolongée aux climats définis dans le domaine d'application.
