Atlas Material Testing Technology’s Solar/PV Center of Excellence in Phoenix, Arizona has added two further services to its portfolio. Services for solar simulator classification and I-V Curve tracing will aid solar companies to substantiate product warranty and efficiency claims.
The solar simulator classification service is provided via Atlas’s use of a portable, high speed, multi-channel OL 770 device to verify that testing instruments meet the standards of simulator classification for PV testing. The verification process meets the requirements described in IEC 60904- 9, Photovoltaic Solar Simulator Performance Requirements for qualifying solar simulation for IEC 61215 testing.
