Research of Nominal Operating Temperature Testing Method of BIPV Module

摘要

There is no national standard and international standard of nominal module operating temperature (NMOT) test methods for Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) modules. An in-lab testing method for measuring NMOT of BIPV modules is proposed. Based on the real operation condition of solar cells, the effect of ambient temperature, wind speed and optimal load resistor to operate temperature was analyzed. The surface temperature, interior temperature and back temperature of BIPV module were measured and the NMOT was determined. This method was demonstrated to be valid and convenient for long-term experiments in out-door testing environment.
