NREL Validation of S3.2 and S3.3: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number CRD-13-00503

National Laboratory of the Rockies

Research output: NLR › Technical Report

Abstract

The scope of work for S3.2 and S3.3 validation includes cooperative planning, execution, and analysis of all recommended and agreed-upon test protocols to determine the suitability of the product for long-term deployment of the photovoltaic modules to a broad range of climates. The test plan will be established within two months of project initiation, and NREL will write monthly reports for the duration of the work.
