What is BS EN 62108 - Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules about?
BS EN 62108 is an International Standard on Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules. BS EN 62108 specifies the minimum requirements for design qualification and type approval of Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and assemblies suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates as defined in IEC 60721-2-1.
The test sequence is partially based on IEC 61215-1 for the design qualification and type approval of flat plate terrestrial crystalline silicon PV modules. However, some changes have been made with regard to separation of on-site and in-lab tests, effects of tracking alignment, high current density and rapid temperature changes, which have resulted in the formulation of some new test procedures and requirements.
Who is BS EN 62108- Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules for?
BS EN 62108 on Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules is useful for:
- Concentrator photovoltaic modules manufacturers
- Concentrator photovoltaic modules certifying and regulatory bodies
- Concentrator photovoltaic modules test laboratories
- Air conditioning Industry
- Industrial process heat generation Industry
- Distillation and desalination Industry
- Concentrator photovoltaic modules components manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 62108- Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules?
The main objective of BS EN 62108 is to determine electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics of the CPV modules and assemblies and to show as far as possible- within reasonable constraints of cost and time- that the CPV modules and assemblies are capable of withstanding prolonged exposure in different climates.
Using BS EN 62108 guidelines, you will be able to produce better quality CPV modules and assemblies. With the help of BS EN 62108, you can demonstrate reliability and improve the efficiency of concentrator photovoltaic modules.
