Since the beginning of 2007 photon lab has employed its own inverter test methodology and regularly published results from those tests.
Photon solar panel test results 2012.
However the question of interest that remains is what can be inferred from the power losses established during the first 50 cycles of the module s operation.

The test series quickly became the world s largest of its kind.
For the month of may the german federal network agency registered new pv systems with a total capacity of 446 3 mw.
Lg perform a bit better on the solar panel test.
In the field of solar module measurement it has carried out more than 6 000 measurements.
Photon laboratory has tested solar modules and solar inverters since 2009.
German pv market at the volume of the record year 2012 in may.
To make these results easier to comprehend the editorial staff drawing its inspiration from school report cards launched a grading system with its own testing certificates.
Parameters and previous results are set out here.
The grades range from a to e.
The closer the value is to 100 the more efficiently it operates.
Although much shorter than the iec test the photon rapid test is therefore much more informative due to the publication of the test results even when power losses are lower.
Photon s 2013 outdoor test results.
In the meantime results are available for around 200 different module types for the period up to june 2015.
My take on the solar panel test results.
Science technology i modules i test photon lab s outdoor module tests photon lab s outdoor module tests.
This solar panel test was made on a single panel purchased with no information of the testing intent.
You will pay a lot more for that but if you have a limited roof space it makes sense.
Photon yield measurement gold standard the photon laboratory began measuring the yield of solar modules already in 2004.
Photon laboratory is focused primarily on performing yield measurements under standard test conditions stc evaluating weak light behavior and determining temperature coefficients.
