模組組合及評估
太陽能電池模組需要長期的品質保證，能夠在幾十度溫差、高濕、強風、多塵等各種環境中，以及強烈紫外線、陽光等條件下，正常運作 10 至 20 年，因此電池模組必須高度可靠耐用。一般而言，太陽能電池的品質保證不僅針對電池單元，更涵蓋光伏電池在內的整個模組，因此模組材料的測試方法，應與整個模組的測試方法相同。
| No. | Analysis / Evaluation | Instruments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Evaluation of electrode joints (After acceleration test) | Non destructive inspection instrument |
| Tensile test of electrode joints | Material testing machines | |
| 2. | Rheological evaluation of sealing films (EVA) | Rheometers |
| Thermal curing of sealing films (EVA) | Thermal analyzers | |
| Deterioration test of sealing films (EVA) Analyzes chemical changes in deterioration processes by light, heat, and oxidation, and evaluates weatherproofing capabilities. |
(UV/Py)GCMS | |
| 3. | Cover glass, Transmittance evaluation of sealing films (EVA) The cover glass has two roles - 1) passes light as much as possible and 2) After light is reflected by a cell, a cover glass (an anti-reflectionfilm) reflects the light back into the cell. |

| 4. | Peeling and tensile test of EVA film sealant and weatherproof films (back sheet) | Material testing machines Fatigue testing machines |
| Load test of module | ||
| Bending test of module |
| #4: IEC 61215 及 IEC 61646 標準中，要求對接頭進行拉伸測試、彎曲測試、負荷測試。Shimadzu 提供兩種接頭拉伸測試方法：零件接頭的拉伸測試，以及零件接頭的扭矩測試。此外，蓋板玻璃從模組剝離的測試也很重要。 |
