Solar Panel Room

Thermotron's solar panel test systems provide customized solutions for testing solar panels, grid-tied PV inverters, or PV cells and modules. Our three-pronged approach lets you find everything you need for your testing requirements: a variety of test chambers, specially designed fixtures, and integrated product controls and data logging.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and panels are gaining popularity due to the emerging renewable energy trend. Solar panels could in the near future power vehicles, cell phones, laptops, lights, and airplanes. To effectively drive these devices, solar panels must be able to withstand their likely environments.

To test boards against their environment, many considerations need to be made before the test equipment is selected. First, the type of test must be based on the test standards, such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646, IEC 61731, and UL 1703. The size and number of solar panels also need to be considered in the design. The chamber needs to accommodate the volume of panels to be tested as well as the loading technology to increase efficiency. Test will be powered on the panel? What level and complexity of testing or data measurement and acquisition such as temperature, voltage, current, will be required?
