FAQ

1. What is the main purpose of the PV Module Backsheet 90-Degree Peel Strength Tester?

The tester is designed to evaluate the adhesion performance between the backsheet and encapsulant layer of PV modules. By performing 90° or adjustable-angle peel tests at controlled speeds, it measures the force required to separate the backsheet, providing quantitative data on bonding strength. This information is critical for design verification, type testing, and production quality control, ensuring long-term reliability of PV modules.

2. Can the tester perform peel tests at angles other than 90°?

Yes, the tester supports adjustable peel angles from 0° to 180°, while 90° is the standard for IEC 61730-2 testing. This flexibility allows comparison of adhesion performance under different mechanical stress scenarios and is useful for research, development, and material evaluation of PV module backsheets.

3. Why is digital speed control important in peel testing?

Digital speed control ensures precise and repeatable peeling rates, which directly affects the measurement of peel force. Consistent speed eliminates variability caused by manual operation and allows for accurate comparison of backsheet adhesion between different modules or materials, improving test reliability and repeatability.

4. What precautions should be taken during peel testing?

The backsheet should be properly clamped, and the peel angle must be accurately set before starting. The glass movement speed should be calibrated to the prescribed value, and the operator must avoid inducing abnormal tearing or slippage. After testing, fixtures and sensors should be checked for wear or damage to maintain measurement accuracy.
