Description
"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
As the global demand for renewable energy continues to grow, photovoltaic (PV) modules are expected to deliver reliable performance for decades under challenging environmental conditions. To ensure their safety, durability, and long-term performance, PV modules must comply with internationally recognized qualification standards.IEC 61215-1 and IEC 61215-2 are the world's most widely accepted standards for thedesign qualification, type approval, and reliability testing of terrestrial photovoltaic modules.
This comprehensive course is designed to help engineers, testing professionals, manufacturers, certification bodies, researchers, and students gain a practical understanding of these important IEC standards. Whether you are new to photovoltaic module testing or looking to strengthen your expertise, this course explains every concept insimple, easy-to-understand language with practical engineering examples.
You will begin by learning the qualification philosophy and requirements ofIEC 61215-1, including the scope of the standard, design qualification principles, sample selection, test sequences, pass criteria, and technology-specific requirements forCrystalline Silicon (c-Si), Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), Amorphous Silicon (a-Si), and Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) photovoltaic modules.
The course then exploresIEC 61215-2, which provides the detailed laboratory procedures for everyModule Quality Test (MQT) used to evaluate photovoltaic modules. Each test is explained step by step, including its purpose, required equipment, test setup, procedure, measurements, acceptance criteria, and engineering significance.
