Description of measurement
Flash test is the basic measurement of electrical parameters of a photovoltaic panel (PVP).
With short light pulse of defined length, irradiance and spectrum we measure entire current-voltage
characteristic of PVP. This measurement is a useful tool for mutual comparison of PVP power,
or verify the truthfulness of nameplate values of panel.
Measured values
The customer obtains data on the following parameters of PVP:
- open circuit voltage,
- short circuit current,
- voltage in maximum power point,
- current in maximum power point,
- maximum power,
|
- fill factor,
- efficiency of PV cells,
- efficinecy of PV module,
- series resistance of PVP,
- parallel resistance of PVP.
|
All measured parameters have an accuracy defined by the manufacturer of our flashtester.
Laboratory uses tester AA-AA-AA class,
PASAN - Sun Simulator IIIc.
The resulting voltage characteristics we subject, on the customer request, expert analysis so
we possibly are able to highlight on defects of PVP and also recommend other suitable tests for
their diagnostics.
Another additional service is periodic measurements of PVP at pre-arranged intervals
and prediction of aging of PVP. In the case of repeated measurements of the same panel in one-year
period we provide significant discounts.
Example of report
For each measurement we provide a detailed report and graphically processed measured data,
possibly also statement of expert guarantor.
Report example. This report customer receives in electronic
and printed form, in most cases within 14 days from the date of measurement.
Overview of offered tests
The following list is an overview of all tests associated with determining the performance of a photovoltaic
module that our laboratory carries out. Accredited tests are marked blue
and their full list can be found here.
Out of accredited tests we also perform additional measurements, which can be, due to laboratory's incorporation
in the CTU, also less common or of experimental nature. For these measurements we are able to eventually
invite other experts from all disciplines that the Czech Technical University in Prague deals with.
