A Case Study of Developing SEMI PV Standards in Taiwan (2009~2014)

Abstract:

This work aims to analysis the SEMI PV standards developed in Taiwan during 2009 to 2014. The major technical committee (TC) and task force (TF) include Photovoltaic Technical Committee (2009), Photovoltaic Module Vibration TF (2010), Photovoltaic Cell Vibration TF (2011), Package Performance TF (2012), OPV and DSSC TF (2013), BIPV TF (2013) and Reliability TF (2014). ITRI coordinated these TFs to set up a series of experiments and discussions, which focused on the performance evaluation for PV cell, module and materials. The TFs have developed four standards include SEMI PV23 (2011), SEMI PV38 (2012), SEMI PV56 (2014) and SEMI PV57 (2014). Through these standardizations, some specific test methods and test flows were completed to evaluate the reliability for both c-Si and organic/inorganic PV products, which are helpful to improve the performances of cell and module, and propose the common testing guidelines for PV industry to refer to when desired.
