Scope

GB/T 34561-2017 is the English-translated version of 光伏玻璃 湿热大气环境自然曝露试验方法及性能评价.

China's national standard for the natural outdoor exposure testing of photovoltaic glass in damp heat environments. It specifies the terms and definitions, the exposure site and equipment, the specimens, the test procedure, the results and performance evaluation, and the test report. The glass is the front surface of a solar module and the component that has to survive longest: a module is warranted for twenty-five years, and everything behind the glass depends on the glass keeping its transmittance and staying intact. Damp heat is the condition that ages it fastest. In a hot humid climate the surface is wet for much of the night, the glass runs above ambient all day, and the combination leaches sodium out of the surface and can leave a haze that costs output permanently. Accelerated chamber testing predicts this imperfectly, because the mechanism depends on wetting and drying cycles that a chamber does not reproduce. Real exposure at a representative site, for a defined period, against a defined evaluation, is the honest test.

1 Scope

China's national standard for the natural outdoor exposure testing of photovoltaic glass in damp heat environments. It specifies the terms and definitions, the exposure site and equipment, the specimens, the test procedure, the results and performance evaluation, and the test report. The glass is the front surface of a solar module and the component that has to survive longest: a module is warranted for twenty-five years, and everything behind the glass depends on the glass keeping its transmittance and staying intact. Damp heat is the condition that ages it fastest. In a hot humid climate the surface is wet for much of the night, the glass runs above ambient all day, and the combination leaches sodium out of the surface and can leave a haze that costs output permanently. Accelerated chamber testing predicts this imperfectly, because the mechanism depends on wetting and drying cycles that a chamber does not reproduce. Real exposure at a representative site, for a defined period, against a defined evaluation, is the honest test.

This standard specifies the terms and definitions of the natural exposure test photovoltaic glass damp hot atmosphere, exposure test site and test equipment, samples, Test procedures, test results and performance evaluation and test reports. This standard applies to outdoor natural exposure test photovoltaic glass in hot and humid atmospheres for the evaluation of photovoltaic glass in the environment Optical properties attenuation characteristics. This standard applies to the front panel glass and backplane glass for photovoltaic modules.

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1 Hot and humid atmospheric environment dampheatoutdoorenvironment Annual high temperature and annual average temperature above 20 °C, high humidity and annual average relative humidity above 60%, annual precipitation is greater than the evaporation and the average annual Precipitation in more than 1600mm, the average annual sunshine hours to reach more than 1800h, the year without wind or windy climatic environment.

4.1 Environment and venue

4.1.1 Exposure test site should be set in hot and humid atmospheric conditions.

4.1.2 The exposure test site should be open to the surrounding area. No obstructions such as buildings or trees that obscure the sample or affect the prevailing wind direction are allowed in the vicinity.

4.1.3 exposure test site The ground should be flat, no water of the earth's surface or well-drained concrete paved ground, but also for regular pruning Of the lawn ground, and lawn ground trim should not have straw splash to the exposed specimen surface.

4.1.4 exposure test site within the scope of 50m not allowed to have air pollution sources.

4.1.5 Exposure test site should have adequate safety and security.

4.2 Exposure sample rack

4.2.1 Exposure The specimen holder consists of a holder and a cross brace holding the specimen. The bolster is fixed to the holder by bolts or screws. Exposure sample rack display The intent is shown in Figure 1.
