Photovoltaic Panel Test Chambers
The three principal models – PV3000, PV4500 and PV8500 – are designed to meet standardised test methods defined within:
- IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and IEC 62108 (Photovoltaic Modules)
- EN 12975-1 and EN 12975-2 (Thermal Modules)
The DH models are climatic chambers specifically configured for long-duration damp heat testing in accordance with standard requirements, typically 85°C / 85% RH for 1000 hours. This allows higher-performance chambers to be allocated to more complex environmental test sequences.
The UV3000 is a dedicated chamber developed to carry out the required radiation pre-treatment phase.
Additional equipment, including hail impact test systems and data acquisition systems, can be supplied on request.
Testing the tools that combat climate change
Designed to support the validation of photovoltaic and thermal modules under controlled environmental conditions.
Enables identification of wear and performance degradation in solar panels through repeatable, standards-based testing.
Configured to meet relevant international test standards for renewable energy products.
Developed to satisfy the operational requirements of dedicated testing laboratories.
Available in three core models:
- PV3000
- PV4500
- PV8500
Optional equipment is available to simulate hail impact testing where required.
KeyKratos Plus™ Control System
The KeyKratos Plus™ system is built on a PLC architecture and features a colour touchscreen interface for configuring and managing automatic and cyclic test programmes.
- 5.7-inch TFT touchscreen with 65,536 colours for responsive control
- Three storage media for cycles, recordings and alarms: memory board, USB pendrive and internal memory
- Touch menu with contextual pop-up screens for straightforward navigation
Optional ACS WinKratos™ remote control software enables PC-based management of single chambers or multi-chamber installations (up to 16 units).
