Power Supply Rack For Climatic Cycling Test
One essential part of the module quality testing according to IEC 61215 is the thermal cycling test (MQT 11) and humidity freeze test (MQT 12). Besides the environment simulation in the climate chamber, it is necessary to energize the PV modules during specific parts of the test.

Peel-off Tester For PV Module Laminate
The connection between the laminate and all other components of a PV module are essential for a high durability and long lifetime of PV modules. Only when the laminate protects the electrical components from humidity and water is a good insulation guaranteed.

PID Testing Equipment
The potential induced degradation (PID) is addressed with the standard IEC TS 62804-1. The standard defines two methods that enable analyzing occurring PID effects in a specific PV module type. PSE AG offers the necessary equipment for the test in a climate chamber. The test equipment can work with any climate chamber on the market and is delivered turnkey. It comes with all necessary equipment, high voltage power sources, sensors, data acquisition and software.

Hail Impact Tester
HIT
Hailstorms can cause severe damage to modules and collectors. Our test stand enables you to carry out tests according to international standards. The hail impact test stand uses an air-pressurized launcher that shoots ice balls representing hailstones of a predetermined size at the module or collector mounted on the support frame.

System and Collection Tester
SysColl
For certification in many markets, performance of the complete factory made system (for example thermosiphon systems) plays an equally important role as collector performance. Our SysColl test stand is a combined test facility for performance testing of both solar collectors and solar thermal systems. This allows you to take advantage of a flexible two in one test solution.

Steady-state Solar Simulator For PV Modules
SORAS LS
In certification laboratories for photovoltaic modules, steady-state solar simulators are mostly used for stabilization / light soaking tests (MQT 19) and hot-spot endurance tests (MQT 09) according to IEC 61215 and IEC 61730. An initial stabilization is required for all PV modules that undergo a standard test procedure. For the hot-spot endurance test (MQT 09), it is important that the operator has easy access to the front and back site of the module. During the test, it is necessary to shade o...show more -

Mechanical Load Tester
Solar modules and collectors, whether on roofs, in façades, or freestanding, are often exposed to high mechanical stress or load: A deep layer of snow or strong winds can greatly affect the materials and connections. Mechanical load test stands accurately test the durability of PV modules and thermal solar collectors.

Tracker for Testing CPV Module Systems
The tracking precision of our biaxial tracker is better than ±1° on each axis, with an option for ±0.1° precision. This makes the tracker ideal for testing concentrating PV modules. The software runs all required tests for angle-dependent testing of PV modules according to IEC 62108.

Tracker
For regions with stable weather conditions, PSE provides two outdoor bi-axial trackers, which keep test samples perpendicular to the sun. PSE trackers are designed for outdoor testing and certification of both solar thermal collectors and PV modules. With our trackers it is possible to test more than one collector at the same time. Simultaneous collector testing can allow direct comparison of different collector designs under identical conditions or increase the measurement throughput of collectors and modules. In our product line we offer the following tracking systems:

Outdoor Exposure Tester
OET
A comprehensive analysis of PV modules includes many different parameters. Determining the normal module operating temperature (NMOT), incidence angle effects and comparing soiling effects on different modules up to the initial degradation of PV modules are all parameters that can be analyzed with our outdoor exposure tester. The tester comes with up to twelve electronic loads installed in a 19" rack. The loads have two main functions: maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and IV curve tracing. Fo...show more -
