Supply, installation and maintenance of two climatic chambers for thermal cycling of photovoltaic modules divided into two lots.
JRC/IPR/2012/F.7/01/OC

The Renewable Energy Unit (REU) of the Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) is located at the Joint Research Centre's Ispra site (JRC). It performs scientific research and provides policy support in the field of renewable energy systems. As part of this task it operates the European Solar Test Installation (ESTI, http://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/esti ), which is a European reference laboratory for electrical performance testing of PV devices. To extend its capabilities for accelerated ageing tests on PV modules, ESTI requires two dedicated climatic chambers for thermal cycling and damp heat testing, with a performance exceeding the requirements foreseen in the IEC 61215 module testing and qualification standard.
