BS PD IEC/TS 62788-7-2:2017 defines test procedures to characterize the weatherability of polymeric
component materials used in photovoltaic (PV) modules or systems. The methods in this
document have been focused on polymeric backsheets and encapsulants, but may be applied
to other materials; however, these were not verified as part of the preparation.
This document includes a suite of artificial weathering exposures, consisting of a steady-state
application of simulated solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity conditions maintained at
stable levels through the weathering test. Cyclic stresses, including thermal and wet/dry
cycles are left for future specifications.
Exposures in this document are intended for reference by other standards and as a tool to
support research and product development for PV components and modules. Different
exposures may be used to target specific climate/mounting configurations, with the specifics
of how to apply the exposures left to those standards (e.g. component characterization
standards, module qualification standards).
An informative annex including parametric descriptions of a range of climate/application
configurations used in developing the exposure suites is provided as a reference.
