QuickSun 830A module solar simulator. Study of mini PV modules

摘要

QS830A module solar simulator is applied to measure electrical parameters of standard PV modules based on mono/polycrystalline silicon solar cells, large format photovoltaic (PV) modules 150 cm x 220 cm, with effective measurements time of 2 ms / 4 ms, flush pulse duration 3 ms / 10 ms (one flash tube / two flash tubes), and non-uniformity less than 2%. In order to comply with the Class AAA tolerances of the standard IEC 60904-9 Edition 2.0 of QuickSun 830A simulators (Endeas Oy, Finland), proprietary optical system behind the light source filament has been developed for filtering spectrum and improving irradiance nonuniformity simultaneously. Non-uniformity parameter for 14% of total modules testing area, i.e. 0.65 m~(2), will be appointed in this work.
