4 Frequently Asked Questions about “The difference between photovoltaic panel flash and flash - Inala Strategic Solar”
What is a flash test for solar panels?
A flash test for solar panels is a diagnostic procedure, used to determine the performance of photovoltaic (PV) panels under high current and voltage conditions. The test involves applying a high-intensity flash of light to the solar panel and measuring the response in terms of voltage and current.
Should solar panels be flash tested on-site?
Even though every manufacturer (should) provide the flash test data of all solar panels ordered, performing own flash tests on-site is necessary to confirm if all quality criteria are met. It is very easy to manipulate flash test results and adjust related output parameters so that they look real.
What technology is used for solar flash testing?
As modules technology changes, so too the flash testing procedure. PERC, Heterojunction Technology (HJT) and Interditigated Back-Contact (IBC) have become popular options for solar manufacture around the world. The image above shows a clear majority of the current solar market being attributed to the three silicon technology choices.
What is flash testing?
This technique has been used to help classify module performance. Flash testing is a laboratory analysis using the voltage sweep technique to characterise the performance and electrical characteristics of solar modules. All modules sold in Australia must be Flash Tested under the IEC 61215 standard.
