What is BS EN 61345 - UV test for PV modules about?

BS EN 61345 is an International Standard that discusses photovoltaic (PV) modules. BS EN 61345 defines a test that determines the resistance of the module when exposed to ultra-violet (UV) radiation. This test is useful for evaluating the UV resistance of materials such as polymers and protective coatings. The object of this test is to determine the ability of the module to withstand exposure to ultra-violet (UV) radiation from280 nm to 400 nm. Before conducting this test, light soaking or other pre-conditioning should be performed in accordance with BS EN IEC 61215 or BS EN IEC 61646.
