Martifer Solar revealed that its PV modules, which use Saint-Gobain Solar’s SolarBond InFrame technology, have passed the set criteria for IEC61215 acceptance, which regulates the safety performance of crystalline silicon terrestrial PV modules. SolarBond is a single component reactive compound, which applied warm fills the aluminum channel completely in order to cut down the risk of water collection in a frame’s corners.

TÜV Rheinland imposed the IEC 61215 standard mandating that all new solar modules must meet the criteria. Testing for qualification includes visual and hot spot diagnostics, insulation inspection, electrical component wet-leakage resistance and performance measurements under different temperate coefficients and environmental conditions.
