PV Light Induced Degradation (LID) Testing Chamber

Applications

The Light Decay Test Chamber is designed as an indoor exposure system, primarily used for standard module and cell degradation testing, module hot spot testing, and module pre-treatment. Spectral matching, irradiance uniformity, and irradiance stability meet at least BBB-grade standards.

This system comprises a light source system, temperature control system, module support structure, light source control system, and irradiance monitoring system. Utilizing xenon lamps as the light source, the irradiance across the exposure surface can be steplessly adjusted between 400 and 1200 W/m².

Standards

IEC 61215: Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules—Design qualification and type approval (Specifically the Light-Induced Degradation and Hot-spot tests).

IEC 60904-9: Photovoltaic devices—Part 9: Classification of solar simulator characteristics (Meeting BBB or higher standards).

GB/T 9535: Ground-based silicon solar photovoltaic modules—Design qualification and type approval.

IEC 61646: Thin-film terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules—Design qualification and type approval (Stabilization phases).

Features

1. Utilizes a xenon lamp as the light source, providing an irradiation area of 1m x 2m, with over-temperature power-off protection.

2. Records irradiance, chamber temperature, and provides both instantaneous irradiance and cumulative irradiation data.

3. Chamber employs air cooling, with internal temperature controllable within 20°C to 50°C.

Test Procedures

1. Site: Level ground with good ventilation, free from flammable, explosive, or corrosive gases and dust. No strong electromagnetic radiation sources nearby. Adequate maintenance space around equipment.

2. Environmental Conditions:

Temperature: 5°C to 35°C

Relative Humidity: ≤85% RH

Atmospheric Pressure: 86–106 kPa

3. Power Supply:

AC 380V, three-phase four-wire + protective earth wire;

Voltage tolerance range: AC (1±10%) 380V

Allowable frequency fluctuation range: (1±1%) 50Hz

Protective earth grounding resistance must be less than 4Ω; TN-S or TT power supply system

Users must install an appropriately rated air or power circuit breaker at the installation site, dedicated exclusively to this equipment

4. Storage Environment Requirements:

When the equipment is not in operation, the ambient temperature must be maintained between +5°C and 35°C.
