Apparatus and method for testing of the thermal shock resistance of photovoltaic modules

摘要

Be provided a device and method for checking the thermal shock resistance of a glass substrate (113) of a photovoltaic module (110). The device (110) comprises, in general, in one exemplary embodiment, a test chamber (102), defining an interior space (103) with a defined internal atmosphere. A cold generation of a unit (106) is in a working connection on the test chamber (102) is arranged, in order to regulate the temperature of the internal atmosphere. A fastening system (111) is in the interior (103) of the test chamber (102) are arranged and configured in such a way that it holds the photovoltaic module (110), while the glass substrate (113) of the photovoltaic module (110) is exposed. A edges cooling system (116) is, in relation to the fastening system (111) arranged in such a way that the first side edge (114) of the of the fastening system, which are held in the pv - module (110) with the edges cooling system (116) is in contact. In the interior (103) of the test chamber (102) is also a light system (150) is arranged, in order to the glass substrate (113) of the photovoltaic module (110) to illuminate.
