In the meantime results are available for around 200 different module types for the period up to june 2015.
Photon solar panel test results 2012.
In the field of solar module measurement it has carried out more than 6 000 measurements.
Photon laboratory has tested solar modules and solar inverters since 2009.
This solar panel test was made on a single panel purchased with no information of the testing intent.

The closer the value is to 100 the more efficiently it operates.
To make these results easier to comprehend the editorial staff drawing its inspiration from school report cards launched a grading system with its own testing certificates.
Curs when solar panels are illuminated to different degrees by the sun for example if in the morning and evening hours the bottom row of the solar power system is in the shade while sunlight still falls on the upper rows 1 translated from photon photon test results independent testing demonstrates technology and performance.
Photon yield measurement gold standard the photon laboratory began measuring the yield of solar modules already in 2004.
Parameters and previous results are set out here.
Although much shorter than the iec test the photon rapid test is therefore much more informative due to the publication of the test results even when power losses are lower.
Lg perform a bit better on the solar panel test.
German pv market at the volume of the record year 2012 in may.
However the question of interest that remains is what can be inferred from the power losses established during the first 50 cycles of the module s operation.
For the month of may the german federal network agency registered new pv systems with a total capacity of 446 3 mw.
Photon laboratory is focused primarily on performing yield measurements under standard test conditions stc evaluating weak light behavior and determining temperature coefficients.
My take on the solar panel test results.
The grades range from a to e.
The test series quickly became the world s largest of its kind.

Since the beginning of 2007 photon lab has employed its own inverter test methodology and regularly published results from those tests.
It is the most important variable for evaluating the efficiency of a solar panel therefore this test is a great way to see if a solar panel will live up to expectations.
