process for stabilizing the performance of a PV module prior to conducting an environmental test
NOTE 1 Conditioning is sometimes referred to as pre-conditioning
NOTE 2 Conditioning enables the effect of an environmental test to be determined without an extraneous shift in performance from an effect other than the specific environmental exposure
Generally, the conditioning is one of the following:
a) annealing conditioning
conditioning using a heat exposure process
b) light soaking conditioning
conditioning using a light exposure process |
