光伏组件用材料的测量程序第1-4部分:密封剂光学透射率的测量和太阳加权光子透射率、黄度指数和紫外线截止波长的计算
IEC 62788-1-4:2016+A1:2020 provides a method for measurement of the optical transmittance of encapsulation materials used in photovoltaic (PV) modules. The standardized measurements in this procedure quantify the expected transmittance of the encapsulation to the PV cell. Subsequent calculation of solar-weighted transmittance allows for comparison between different materials. The results for unweathered material may be used in an encapsulation manufacturer's datasheets, in manufacturer's material or process development, in manufacturing quality control (material acceptance), or applied in the analysis of module performance. This measurement method can also be used to monitor the performance of encapsulation materials after weathering, to help assess their durability. This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2016) and its amendment 1 (2020). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.
