前言:这是CAN/CSA-IEC 61215-2《地面光伏（PV）组件-设计鉴定和型式认证-第2部分:试验程序》的第一版，未经修改就采用了标题相同的IEC（国际电工委员会）标准61215-2（第一版，2016-03）。它取代了CAN/CSA-C61215:08《晶体硅地面光伏（PV）组件-设计鉴定和型式认证》（采用IEC 61215:2005）和CAN/CSA-IEC 61646:10《薄膜地面光伏（PV）组件-设计鉴定和型式认证》（采用IEC 61646:2008）的部分内容。为简洁起见，本标准通篇称为“CAN/CSA-IEC 61215-2”。本标准确定了适合在一般开放环境下长期运行的地面光伏组件的设计鉴定和型式认证要求- IEC 60721-2-1:2013《环境条件分类——第2-1部分:自然界出现的环境条件——温度和湿度》中定义的空气气候。本标准适用于所有地面平板模块材料，如晶体硅模块类型以及薄膜模块。本标准的制定符合加拿大标准委员会对加拿大国家标准的要求。CSA集团已将其作为加拿大国家标准发布。范围和目的:本国际标准系列规定了IEC 60721-2-1中定义的适用于在一般露天气候下长期运行的地面光伏组件的设计鉴定和型式认证的IEC要求。IEC 61215的这一部分旨在适用于所有地面平板模块材料，如晶体硅模块类型和薄型- 电影模块。本标准不适用于使用集中阳光的组件，尽管它可用于低聚光组件（1到3个太阳）。对于低浓度模块，所有测试均使用设计浓度下预期的电流、电压和功率水平进行。本试验顺序的目的是确定模块的电气和热特性，并在合理的成本和时间限制范围内，尽可能证明模块能够承受一般露天气候下的长期暴露。如此合格的模块的实际预期寿命将取决于其设计、环境和运行条件。

Preface:This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-IEC 61215-2,Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules — Design qualification and type approval — Part 2: Test procedures, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61215-2 (first edition, 2016-03). It replaces CAN/CSA-C61215:08,Crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules — Design qualification and type approval (adopted IEC 61215:2005), and parts of CAN/CSA-IEC 61646:10, Thin-film terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules — Design qualification and type approval(adopted IEC 61646:2008).For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CAN/CSA-IEC 61215-2" throughout.This Standard identifies requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates, as defined in IEC 60721-2-1:2013,Classification of environmental conditions — Part 2-1: Environmental conditions appearing in nature — Temperature and humidity. This Standard is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules.This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.Scope and object:This International Standard series lays down IEC requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates, as defined in IEC 60721-2-1. This part of IEC 61215 is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules.This standard does not apply to modules used with concentrated sunlight although it may be utilized for low concentrator modules (1 to 3 suns). For low concentration modules, all tests are performed using the current, voltage and power levels expected at the design concentration.The objective of this test sequence is to determine the electrical and thermal characteristics of the module and to show, as far as possible within reasonable constraints of cost and time, that the module is capable of withstanding prolonged exposure in general open-air climates. The actual lifetime expectancy of modules so qualified will depend on their design, their environment and the conditions under which they are operated.
