Sampling for testing of PV modules comprises the procedures involved to select a part of PV modules from the entire solar PV plant for inspection and it should adhere to standard sampling methods IS2500/ISO-2859 and field testing norms as per IEC 61215/61646 standards.
The first PV module qualification tests were developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as part of the Low-Cost Solar Array program funded by the U.S. Department of Energy , , , . Elements of the Block V qualification sequence include: twisted-mounting surface test.
First of all, as is indicated in the IEC 61215-2, the PV module must be submitted through a so-called “preconditioning process” (see Test 19). This process suggests the module in open circuit condition must be under solar radiation, natural or artificial, into the range of 5 kWh/m 2 to 5.5 kWh/m 2.
The following PV Solar cell test is available: Solar cell STC performance evaluation - Test per sample of PV module
Solar modules are measured at STC, Standard Test Conditions, to benchmark the standard performance specifications: Light irradiance of 1,000 W/m 2. Solar cell temperature of 25°C. Maximum power measurement at STC divided by the surface area of the module tells us the module efficiency.
A PV module supporting an open rack with low heat conduction that can be positioned at 45 ± 5°. A reference cell installed coplanar at the module (or pyranometer). An instrument to measure wind speed, and its direction, installed 0.7 m over the top of the module. The lower PV module edge must be at least 0.6 m above ground level.
