BS 62925:2017 pdf download – CONCENTRATOR PHOToVOLTAIC(CPV) MODULES – THERMAL cYCLING TEST TO DIFFERENTIATEI NCREASED THERMAL FATIGUE DURABILITY 1 Scope This document defines a test sequence that will quickly uncover CPV module failures thathave been associated with field exposure to thermal cycling for many years. This documentwas specifically developed to relate to thermal fatigue failure of the HCPV die-attach, however,it also applies,to some extent,to all thermal fatigue related failure mechanisms for theassemblies submitted to test. IEC 62108,the CPV module qualification test already includes an accelerated thermal cyclesequence in one leg of the testing,however,the parameters of that test only represent aqualification level of exposure. This test procedure applies more stress and will provide aroute for comparative testing to differentiate CPV modules with improved durability to thermalcycling and the associated mechanical stresses.
