IEC TS 63209-2:2022

Photovoltaic modules - Extended-stress testing - Part 2: Polymeric component materials

OVERVIEW

IEC TS 63209-2:2022 includes a menu of tests to use for evaluation of the long-term reliability of materials used as backsheets and encapsulants in PV modules. It is intended to provide information to supplement the baseline testing defined in IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, which are qualification tests with pass-fail criteria. used for reliability analysis and is not intended to be used as a pass-fail test procedure. This document addresses polymeric materials in the crystalline silicon module laminates, specifically backsheets and encapsulants in Glass/Glass or Glass/Backsheet modules. The included environmental stress tests are intended to cause degradation that is most relevant to field experience, but these may not capture all failure modes which may be observed in various locations.
