Short description (French)

Multi-Purpose PV Module Tester (MPVT).

Abstract (English)

The strong market growth and continual introduction of new and improved PV module technologies, especially of high efficiency and thin film modules, as well as the introduction of new testing standards, oriented towards a larger range of testing conditions, requires the development of new high performing testing equipment. The objective of this project is to develop a new high flexible electronic load which responds to the present needs of research and test laboratories and which is the basis for the development of a high efficient and cost effective in-line tester for module manufacturers.
