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.

Test Procedures

Mount PV modules securely on the clamping fixtures.

Select the desired test profile on the touchscreen HMI (forward/reverse load or dynamic cycle).

Set the number of cycles and load parameters according to IEC/UL standards.

Start the test and monitor pressure and force readings in real-time.

Inspect modules after test completion using EL imaging for crack or delamination detection.

Export test data and generate a standardized report for QA or certification purposes.

Maintenance Information

Regularly inspect cylinders, O-rings, and load distribution pads for wear.

Clean the frame and fixtures to prevent dust accumulation.

Verify force sensor calibration periodically using NIST-traceable standards.

Check air supply quality (clean/dry) to ensure consistent pneumatic operation.

Test emergency shutoff and overload protection circuits monthly.
