The LoadSpot is a specialized testing tool developed by BrightSpot Automation to assess the mechanical durability of solar panels by simulating real-world stresses such as wind and snow loads. This tool is essential for evaluating the structural integrity of photovoltaic (PV) modules and understanding how they perform under mechanical stress.
Features:
- Uniform Loading Mechanism: Applies mechanical load using vacuum and air pressure for more uniform pressure distribution, ensuring a comprehensive test.
- Integrated Electroluminescence (EL) Camera: Allows for real-time monitoring of cracks and other defects as the load is applied.
- Meets International Standards: Performs both static and cyclic mechanical load tests in compliance with IEC-61215 and IEC-TS-62782 standards.
- Simultaneous EL and IV Testing: Supports electroluminescence (EL) and current-voltage (IV) testing during load application.
Applications:
- Design Optimization: Helps manufacturers improve the durability and performance of solar panels.
- Quality Assurance: Ensures panels meet durability standards before they are deployed in the field.
- Performance Assessment: Evaluates how panels handle mechanical stress, such as wind and snow load conditions, aiding in the development of robust solar technologies.
