Photovoltaic (PV) Modules — Design Qualification and Type Approval

IEC 61215 defines the design qualification and type approval sequence for terrestrial PV modules suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates. The Module Qualification Tests (MQT) span thermal cycling, humidity-freeze, UV exposure, mechanical load, hot-spot endurance and more.

About IEC 61215

IEC 61215 is the international qualification standard for crystalline-silicon and thin-film photovoltaic modules intended for terrestrial use. Modules that complete the test sequence successfully are considered to have a reasonable expectation of operating reliably for 20+ years in typical open-air climates.

Module Qualification Test (MQT) sequence overview

  • MQT 01 — Visual inspection
  • MQT 02 — Maximum power determination
  • MQT 03 — Insulation test
  • MQT 04 — Measurement of temperature coefficients
  • MQT 06 — Performance at STC and NMOT
  • MQT 09 — Hot-spot endurance test
  • MQT 10 — UV preconditioning
  • MQT 11 — Thermal cycling (200 cycles)
  • MQT 12 — Humidity-freeze (10 cycles)
  • MQT 13 — Damp heat (1000 hours, 85 °C / 85 % RH)
  • MQT 16 — Static mechanical load test
  • MQT 17 — Hail test
  • MQT 19 — Stabilisation

Related standards

IEC 61215 is typically paired with IEC 61730 (PV module safety) and IEC TS 62782 (dynamic mechanical load). IEC 60068-2 environmental sub-tests provide the underlying environmental conditioning methods.
