Environmental Chambers for Solar Panel Testing

From Cincinnati Sub-Zero

With the ever increasing concern of global warming and lower energy costs, there is a growing need for alternative energy that is both clean and affordable. Solar Energy is one alternative that uses Photovoltaic (PV) modules to generate energy. These modules are exposed to severe environmental temperature and humidity extremes throughout the life of the product.

Listed below is a general overview of common solar panel test specifications that require the use of environmental testing.
