Mechanical load testing machine for photovoltaic modules
The Mechanical Load Testing Machine for Photovoltaic Modules is engineered to evaluate the mechanical durability of both crystalline and thin-film PV modules under static and dynamic load conditions. By simulating snow, wind, hail, and debris impacts, the system ensures modules meet international mechanical reliability standards. It is suitable for R&D, quality assurance, and certification laboratories.
Application
Static and dynamic mechanical load testing of crystalline PV modules (framed/frameless).
Fatigue testing under pulsating wind or snow load conditions.
Hail and debris impact simulation for module safety evaluation.
Research and development for thin-film PV modules and flexible panels.
Standards
IEC 61215: Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules – Design Qualification and Type Approval
IEC 61646: Thin-Film Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules – Design Qualification and Type Approval
IEC 62782: Dynamic Mechanical Load Testing for Photovoltaic Modules
UL 1703: Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels
CE Certification (Conformité Européenne)
Features
Multi-Standard Compliance: Simulates forward/reverse loads and dynamic fatigue cycles according to IEC standards.
Ultra-Precise Control: 0.1 N force feedback and ±5% pressure accuracy for reproducible results.
Automated Testing: Programmable cycle counts with AI-assisted real-time crack detection via EL imaging.
Safety First: Dual redundant emergency shutoff, load cell override, and overload protection at 6,000 Pa.
Modular Design: Quick-change fixtures accommodate framed, frameless, and flexible modules; expandable test area up to 3.0m × 2.0m.
User-Friendly Operation: 10” touchscreen HMI with preloaded IEC/UL test sequences and customizable pressure profiles.
Robust Construction: 304 stainless steel frame with epoxy coating ensures long-term durability.
Remote Monitoring & Self-Calibrating: Wi-Fi/Ethernet connectivity and auto-tare/linearity checks before each test.
