Test Procedures
Prepare ice balls according to standard and store in the low-temperature storage box.
Fix the PV module on the testing platform with the surface perpendicular to ice ball flight.
Configure the upper computer with ice ball size, impact speed, target location, and number of impacts.
Launch ice balls according to the set program.
After impact, measure PV module appearance and electrical parameters (short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, etc.).
Compare results against IEC 61215. IEC 61646. and UL 1703 standards to determine pass/fail.
Automatically record and save test data for analysis and comparison.
