The photon laboratory started these measurements in 2004 and they quickly became the world s largest test series of their kind to date.
Photon solar panel test results 2017.
Photon has developed a measuring device for this purpose which records the current voltage characteristic curve of a module every second.
Results are as production per watt lg 300w 102 7 percent.
Photon energy systems limited photon was promoted in 1995 by technocrats with wide experience in industry and commenced operations in year 1997 98 with financial assistance from indian renewable energy development agency ltd.
Sunkalp energy has taken the latest results from 2015 and picked out the multicrystalline solar panels which are most commonly available for mw projects in india.
The test measures the electricity output of a solar panel exposed to real world conditions within a 12 month period.
The company has three main verticals manufacturing and supplying a wide range of solar energy products and solutions like solar pv modules solar lanterns now.
The measurements have been paused in 2016 and 2017 but are to be resumed in 2018.
The details of the test will be published in october s edition of photon international magazine.
Solar panel test results in order of performance.
In the meantime results are available for around 200 different module types for the period up to june 2015.
In 2015 a total of 173 different solar panels from vendors of international repute with large enough facilities were tested.
Jinko 250w 100 percent.
The test series quickly became the world s largest of its kind.
Measuring the yield from solar modules was the first test photon developed.
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.
The grades range from a to e.
