LARGE ACS CHAMBER FOR TESTS ON PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS INSTALLED AT CERTISOLIS LABORATORY IN FRANCE

In order to expand its range of products and services and provide greater flexibility in carrying out its testing and calibration activities, CERTISOLIS Lab. has decided to enhance its facilities by acquiring a large environmental test chamber satisfying these specific needs:

• Thermal cycle test: MQT 11 of standard NF EN 61215-2:2021
• Humidity-freeze test: MQT 12 of standard NF EN 61215-2:2021
• Materials creep test: MST 37 of standard NF EN 61730-2:2016
• Cold conditioning: MST 55 of standard NF EN 61730-2:2016
• Dry heat conditioning: MST 56 of standard NF EN 61730-2:2016

Here below the main features of the PV10000 SP they acquired from ACS to fully comply with these norms:

• T range: from -65°C to +125°C (adjustable)
• RH range: from 50% to 95% RH in the climatic range +20°C to +90°C
• Specimen (DUT):
• Type/Material: solar/photovoltaic module/s on frame/s (max no.10 PV panels); glass+aluminium 0,9 kJ/kg°C
• Ext. dims (WxDxH): 2300 x 2600 x 3350 mm approx. (excluding machine unit)
• Int.useful dims (WxDxH): 2000 x 1700 x 2900 mm approx.
• Int.useful volume: 9,86 m3 approx.

Certisolis is a French ISO 17025-certified testing and certification laboratory for photovoltaic solar panels (PV modules). It enables players in the industry (manufacturers, investors, EPC specialists) to promote the development of PV solutions with full confidence, and to choose products offering the best guarantee of quality and durability.

In addition, Certisolis is the only laboratory in France that certifies photovoltaic (PV) product energy performance.

To achieve this, Certisolis has a wide range of equipment for testing photovoltaic modules and components in order to certify their performance in accordance with international standards IEC 61215 (design qualification) and IEC 61730 (operational safety qualification).
