Measurement procedures for materials used in photovoltaic modules - Part 7-3: Environmental exposures - Accelerated abrasion tests of PV module external surfaces
Abstract
This standard defines the test methods that can be used for evaluating the abrasive durability of materials and coatings in photovoltaic modules or other solar devices. The standard was developed to address components on the irradiance incident surface (including coatings, frontsheet, and glass) as well as back surfaces (including backsheets or back glass). This standard is intended to address abrasion of PV materials and components using representative “coupon” specimens (e.g. which can be centimetres in size); some methods and apparati used here can also be used on PV module specimens (e.g. meters in size).
