Measurement procedures for materials used in photovoltaic modules - Part 5-1: Edge seals - Suggested test methods for use with edge seal materials

IEC 62788-5-1:2020 provides procedures for standardized test methods for evaluating the properties of materials designed to be used as edge seals. When modules are constructed with impermeable (or extremely low permeability) front- and backsheets designed to protect moisture-sensitive photovoltaic (PV) materials, there is still the possibility for moisture to get in from the sides. The test methods described in this document are intended to be used to standardize the way edge seals are evaluated. Only some of these tests are applied for IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, and that status depends on the specific design.

Procédures de mesure des matériaux utilisés dans les modules photovoltaïques - Partie 5-1: Joints d'étanchéité périphériques - Méthodes d’essai suggérées pour l’utilisation des matériaux de joints d'étanchéité périphériques

l’IEC 62788-5-1:2020 fournit des procédures de méthodes normalisées d’essai pour l’évaluation des propriétés des matériaux destinés à être utilisés comme joints d'étanchéité périphériques. Lorsque les modules sont constitués de couches avant et de couches arrière imperméables (ou à très faible perméabilité) afin de protéger les matériaux photovoltaïques (PV) sensibles à l’humidité, il est tout de même possible que l’humidité s’infiltre par les côtés. Les méthodes d’essai décrites dans le présent document sont destinées à être utilisées pour normaliser la manière d’évaluer les joints d’étanchéité périphériques. Seuls certains de ces essais sont effectués pour l’IEC 61215 et l’IEC 61730, ce statut étant dépendant de la conception spécifique.
