Swiss-based solar simulator equipment supplier Alfartec has had its new generation of module tester, BlueSky MT240 certified by China’s 3rd party lab, NIM at a ‘Silicon Module Super League’ (SMSL) member at a c-Si module manufacturing plant in China.

Alfarte noted that the qualification of its module testers based on the IEC60904 ed2 with the result that its tester had non-uniformity is largely class A+, the LTI is said to be 10 times better than class A+ over 1 second of illumination, while its spectrum is largely inside the class A+ specifications, according to the company.
