The IEC 62759 is a European Standard that discusses photovoltaic modules. The main purpose of the series is to provide Transportation testing requirements of PV modules.
BS EN 62759-1 is the first part of the series that describes methods for the simulation of transportation of complete package units of modules and combined subsequent environmental impacts, it does however not include pass/fail criteria.
BS EN 62759-1 is designed so that its test sequence can co-ordinate with those of IEC 61215 or IEC 61646, so that a single set of samples may be used to perform both the transportation simulation and performance evaluation of a photovoltaic module design. BS EN 62759-1 applies to flat-plate photovoltaic modules but may also be used as a basis for testing of CPV modules and assemblies.
BS EN 62759-1 on photovoltaic modules is useful for:
Photovoltaic (PV) modules are electrical devices intended for continuous outdoor exposure during their lifetime. The transportation of solar modules is critical, and various issues might arise during the shipping and transportation of photovoltaic modules.
BS EN 62759-1 provides you with the methods for simulating the transportation of whole package units of modules and the resulting environmental implications.
Compliance with best industry practices for transportation of photovoltaic modules with BS EN 62759-1 can help you evaluate the mechanical stresses that may occur during transportation to the PV installation destination.
