Ultra Violet (UV) irradiation is one of the main contributors for PV module degradation. Therefore, IEC decided to put more emphasis on UV testing as part of module certification. IEC 61215 and IEC 61730:2016 editions require increased UV preconditioning doses of in total 165KWh, an almost 4 times increase from previous IEC editions.
As a consequence, PV module test labs around the world are running into capacity issues. Next to that increasing module sizes are making some of their UV testing capacity obsolete. This delays certification projects or forces them to find expensive outsourcing solutions. New equipment is typically overdesigned and costly.
Eternalsun Spire now made the thoroughly tested and proven UV Cube available to the market at a very competitive price level. The UV Cube was originally designed by PI Berlin and has been successfully used in multiple labs. The UV cube comes in a 2, 4 or 6 (larger size) modules design.
