Climate for technology

Module performance: Over the years researchers at TUEV Rheinland have tested and evaluated thousands of PV modules. Some of the individual tests performed only take a few seconds, while others (e.g. climate chamber related tests) take days or weeks to perform, but all are executed under well-controlled laboratory conditions.

TUEV Rheinland is one of the leading quality test institutes and certification authorities for PV module manufacturers. The set of parameters derived from their tests serve to characterize the modules and form the basis for energy yield estimates of solar modules under field conditions for periods of 20 years and more.A precondition that is required …
