What is BS EN 62108 - Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules about?

BS EN 62108 is an International Standard on Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules. BS EN 62108 specifies the minimum requirements for design qualification and type approval of Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and assemblies suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates as defined in IEC 60721-2-1.   The test sequence is partially based on IEC 61215-1 for the design qualification and type approval of flat plate terrestrial crystalline silicon PV modules. However, some changes have been made with regard to separation of on-site and in-lab tests, effects of tracking alignment, high current density and rapid temperature changes, which have resulted in the formulati...
