The Energy System Laboratory (LSE) meets one set of means and competences to realize Thermal Solar Collectors Tests in accordance to the norms:
• EN ISO 9806:2013 – Thermal Solar Collectors
• EN 12975-1:2006 (5.3.4) + A1 2010 – Thermal Solar Systems and components. Solar Collectors
Testing of Photovoltaic Modules by the norms:
• IEC 61646 – Photovoltaic Modules – Thin Film
• IEC 61215 – Photovoltaic Modules – Crystalline Silicon
• IEC 61730 – Photovoltaic Modules Safety
The LSE also performs technical expertise to solar installations and others energy system tests, like boilers and biomass, heat recuperators, heat pumps, heat exchangers, particularly in the context of new legislation about energy classification labeling.
The LSE has a partnership agreement with CERTIF and DIN CERTCO, following witch it was recognized by SOLAR KEYMARK (www.estif.org/solarkeymarknew/contacts/recognised-test-labs).
