Photovoltaic cells - Part 1: Measurement of light-induced degradation of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells

IEC 63202-1:2019 describes procedures for measuring the light-induced degradation (LID) of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells in simulated sunlight. The magnitude of LID in a crystalline silicon PV cell is determined by comparing maximum output power at Standard Test Conditions (STC) before, and after, exposure to simulated sunlight at a specified temperature and irradiance. The purpose of this document is to provide standardized PV cell LID information to help PV module manufacturers in minimizing the mismatch between cells within the same module, thereby maximizing power yield.

Photovoltaik-Zellen - Teil 1: Messung der lichtinduzierten Degradation von kristallinen Silizium-Photovoltaikzellen

Cellules photovoltaïques - Partie 1: Mesure de la dégradation induite par la lumière des cellules photovoltaïques au silicium cristallin

l'IEC 63202-1:2019 décrit les procédures pour la mesure de la dégradation induite par la lumière (LID, light-induced degradation) des cellules photovoltaïques (PV) au silicium cristallin sous éclairement solaire simulé. L'amplitude de la dégradation induite par la lumière dans une cellule photovoltaïque au silicium cristallin est déterminée en comparant la puissance de sortie maximale aux conditions normales d’essai ((STC, standard test conditions) avant et après l'exposition à un éclairement solaire simulé, à une température et un éclairement spécifiés. L'objet du présent document est de fournir des informations sur la dégradation induite par la lumière des cellules photovoltaïques normalisées, afin d'aider les fabricants de modules photovoltaïques à réduire le plus possible la désadaptation entre les cellules à l'intérieur du même module, augmentant ainsi au maximum le rendement de puissance.

Fotonapetostne naprave - 11. del: Meritve degradacije kristalnih silicijevih sončnih celic, povzročene s svetlobo

Ta evropski standard opisuje postopke za meritve degradacije kristalnih silicijevih fotonapetostnih celic, povzročene s svetlobo (LID), pod simulirano sončno svetlobo. Obseg degradacije, povzročene s svetlobo, v kristalni silicijevi fotonapetostni celici se določi s primerjavo največje izhodne moči pri standardnih preskusnih pogojih (STC) pred izpostavljenostjo simulirani sončni svetlobi pri določeni temperaturi in sevanju ter po njej. Namen tega dokumenta je podati standardizirane informacije o degradaciji fotonapetostnih celic, povzročeni s svetlobo, ki proizvajalcem fotonapetostnih modulov pomagajo zmanjšati neujemanje celic v istem modulu, s čimer se poveča izkoristek energije. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da v primerjavi z meritvami degradacije fotonapetostnih modulov, povzročene s svetlobo, ki je opisana v skupini standardov IEC 61215, na preskus degradacije fotonapetostnih celic, povzročene s svetlobo, pomembno vpliva več dodatnih preskusnih dejavnikov, ki v standardu IEC 61215-2 niso bili upoštevani. Ta dokument določa postopek pogojevanja in merjenja ter nastavitve parametrov, ki so potrebne za dosledne meritve degradacije fotonapetostnih celic, povzročene s svetlobo. Obseg degradacije, povzročene s svetlobo, je eden od pomembnih dejavnikov kakovosti celice. Najpomembnejši dejavnik celic znotraj iste razvrstitve je porazdelitev izhodne moči po degradaciji, povzročeni s svetlobo.
