UV Radiation Chamber for IEC 61646 & IEC 61215

UV light radiation test is an irradiance test to discover out to which prolong solar panels are inclined to ultraviolet (UV) degradation and as a result overall performance losses. The Wewon’s UV radiation chamber for IEC 61646; IEC 61215 test standard, which is basically utilized to solar panel certification and research, is normally carried out earlier than the thermal cycle and humidity rapidly tests. The UV radiation test is carried out at a temperature of +60°C ±5°C, whilst subjected to UV irradiation (UVA + AVB and UVB).

In PV modules testing, many exclusive factors are uncovered to the sunlight. Therefore, the IEC 61215 defines a UV preconditioning test (MQT 10) to test at whether or not these elements can face up to the UV radiation of the sun. In Weson’s uv radiation chamber, the UV radiation is up to 5 times the solar depth to speed up the test, as requested in the UV preconditioning test.
