IEC TS 62788-8-1:2024 ED1

Measurement procedures for materials used in photovoltaic modules - Part 8-1: Electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) - Measurement of material properties

Scope

IEC TS 62788-8-1:2024 defines test methods and datasheet reporting requirements for key characteristics of ECA used in photovoltaic modules, involving mechanical characteristics, adhesive characteristics, electrical characteristics, thermal characteristics, etc.
The object of this document is to offer a standard test procedure to ECA manufacturers for product design, production and quality control, and to PV module manufacturers for the purpose of material screening, material inspection, process control, and failure analysis.
This document is intended to be applied to ECA used in solar PV modules. For non-conductive adhesives or tapes used in PV modules, the applicable test methods except for electrical characteristics in this document may be used.
