Current Trends in Weathering of PV Modules

Linsengericht, March 2010 – Atlas MTT GmbH, a global leader in weathering durability testing equipment and services will be exhibiting at Photon’s 6th Photovoltaic Technology Show 2010 Europe, taking place April 27-29 in Stuttgart, Germany (hall 6, booth L36).

Atlas will present a variety of products and services that support manufacturers of PV modules, raw materials and components. Atlas` solutions help answer the tough questions about material durability caused by the extreme influence of sunlight on PV products, essential to be able to meet product and performance claims.

Atlas will feature the following services and products at their booth:

Atlas 25PLUS - This program provides a crucial missing component to the IEC type design qualification tests by predicting the effects of long-term environmental exposure during the product`s lifetime. Instead of comprising isolated, individual stresses targeted at infant mortality, Atlas 25PLUS consists of a series of combined stresses applied to PV modules, providing a true analog of the effects of long-term ageing resulting from exposure to the elements.

XenoCal Solar Sensor - The XenoCal Solar sensor is an important tool to ensure that the light source used for PV preconditioning tests is within the specification.

SUNTEST® XXL+ - Atlas' largest flatbed xenon instrument, perfect for crystalline and thin-film mini modules.

Atlas recently launched another innovative testing instrument for the PV industry, the XR360 PV Module Weather Durability Testing System. The XR360 integrates advancements in environmental chamber and xenon solar simulation technology. Available in three models, each with the capacity to test over 90% of current PV modules.
