Abstract

A comprehensive review on standards for actively-cooled CPV and CPV-T systems is presented. Since these systems lack specific standardisation, this review concludes that the current standards, including the photovoltaic IEEE 1513 and IEC 62108, and the solar thermal EN-12975-2:2006 and ISO 9806-2:1995, are insufficient for qualifying these types of actively-cooled concentrator systems. Additional test specifications for adapting the IEC 62108 and EN-12975-2:2006 standards for actively-cooled CPV and CPV-T systems have been proposed.
