We subject photovoltaic (PV) components and materials to accelerated testing conditions to provide early indications of potential failures. The results are coupled with an understanding of environmental conditions to predict field performance and lifetime. To conduct accelerated testing of modules. .
A significant source of generated power for residential, commercial and small-system applications these days are supplied by solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and arrays. PV offers a great choice for powering needs of small or large systems due to ease of integration, reliability, long safety track. .
The solar heat gain coeficient is one of the important indicators to evaluate the performance of the building envelope components. In a BIPV module, secondary heat transfer to the indoors is reduced, compared to con-ventional glazing, due to the shielding effect of the PV cells and energy. .

IEC 61215 and EN 61215 describe a wide variety of qualification tests, based on potential aging influences, for artificial loading of materials used in PV modules. The following individual loading groups are identified: The materials are considered to have passed the tests if no major visible.
