More Earnings & Long Life even in Hot Areas
A damp heat test is part of simulating how a panel ages. This damp heat test increases the temperature to 85% in combination with a humidity of 85%. Doing this will age panels faster and simulate 20 years time when the test is performed over 1,000 hours.
If the normal temperature of the cell in hot areas will be 50-70 degree then such tests will not simulate 20 years, but rather 10-15 years maybe, because panels in hot areas will age much faster than in temperate.
Our panel can easily survive 2,000 hours in a damp heat test without any problems. This means that, even in desert regions, we can guarantee lifetimes of 20 years or more.
For example, if the panel will work 30% longer than a normally processed panel, a huge financial advantage will be created, one that is much greater than the few cents per watt, which the technology might cost the end consumer.
