Over time, this radiation can cause changes to encapsulation materials, backsheets, plastics, adhesives, coatings, and other components of a PV module. UV testing and UV preconditioning are therefore important elements in the qualification and development of modern photovoltaic modules.\r\n\r\nBF Engineering develops and supplies UV lamps, UV irradiation systems, and UV emitters for testing photovoltaic modules and solar panels. Our systems are used for standards-based PV testing, accelerated UV aging, and research and development applications.\r\n\r\nUV testing equipment can be configured according to the required test area, irradiance, uniformity, UV dose, and spectral requirements. This enables both individual PV components and complete photovoltaic modules to be irradiated under defined and reproducible conditions.\r\n\r\nIn addition to complete UV lamps and testing systems, BF Engineering also offers UV emitters and replacement lamps for existing PV testing systems. These include the BF-UV2000F, a powerful 2,000 W UV emitter for technical UV irradiation applications.\r\n\r\nAdditional high-pressure UV emitters with different power ratings and UVA\/UVB characteristics are also available.
