What is PD IEC TS 62989 -Concentrator photovoltaic systems ?
PD IEC TS 62989 encompasses key characteristics of primary optical elements (lenses and mirrors) and lens or mirror parquets for concentrator photovoltaics including optical performance, mechanical geometry, mechanical strength, materials, and surface morphology. PD IEC TS 62989 identifies the essential characteristics, the corresponding quantities of interest, and provides a method for measurement of each quantity.
PD IEC TS 62989 allows lens and mirror manufacturers, concentrator module manufacturers, test laboratories, and other interested parties to define lens/mirror qualities and inspect lenses and mirrors. There are no pass/fail criteria associated with the document.
