Introduction

1. Background and significance of standard formulation

With the transformation of global energy structure and the rapid development of renewable energy, photovoltaic modules are the core components of solar power generation systems, and their photoelectric conversion efficiency is directly related to the energy output and economic benefits of the entire system. In order to unify and standardize the testing methods of ground photovoltaic modules and ensure product quality and technical reliability, the national standard GB/T 34160-2017 came into being.

2. Comparison of standard frameworks

Dimensions IEC 60904-1 IEC 60904-2 GB/T 34160—2017
Scope of application Measurement of current-voltage characteristics of photovoltaic devices Requirements for standard solar cells Efficiency detection of terrestrial photovoltaic modules
Technical requirements Simulator performance specifications Reference device standards Module pretreatment and test conditions
Test equipment Solar simulators that meet the requirements of IEC60904-9 Standard photovoltaic devices that meet the requirements of IEC60904-2 AAA-level solar simulators and power test equipment

3. Interpretation of the main contents of the standard

3.1 Definition of terms and practical applications

Total module area: refers to the area determined by the outer edge of the upper surface of the module, including the vertical projection of the solar cells and the frame. For example, in crystalline silicon modules, the total module area includes the cell and frame areas.

Active module area: refers to the sum of the areas of all solar cells in the module. For thin-film modules, the effects of dead zones and scribed areas usually need to be considered.


4. Implementation suggestions and precautions

  • Equipment selection: Ensure that the test equipment meets the requirements of IEC standards, especially the solar simulator must reach AAA level performance.
  • Pretreatment steps: Use the corresponding pretreatment method according to the component type (crystalline silicon or thin film) to avoid environmental factors affecting the test results.
  • Data recording: Record key parameters such as irradiance, temperature, maximum power, etc. in detail to ensure that the test report meets the requirements of ISO/IEC17025.
