Starting pointBy signing this document, the ordering party commissions PHOTON Laboratory GmbH to grant thelicense of a set of measurement data.In addition to the lab report and test logo, the freely available performance data package includes thefollowing:MPPT adjustment efficiency in the form of a graphConversion efficiency in the form of a graphOverall efficiency in the form of a graphWeighted conversion efficiency in the form of a graphOverall efficiency at various voltages in the form of a graphPHOTON efficiency expressed numericallyMPP timingDisplayed outputOperation at higher ambient temperaturesOverload behaviorInternal and night power consumptionThermographyPHOTON Publishing GmbH publishes the data and analysis generated from production model tests inthe form of tables and charts, and also usual in the form of a report, in its magazines. Testmeasurements and reports on pre-serial products are exclusively for the internal use of the orderingparty. The ordering party may only disclose these data to third parties with the express permission ofPHOTON Laboratory.If a model does not meet the requirements of a particular country’s national directives or norms, e.g.VDE-AR-N4105 or VDE 0126-1-1, the test data will not be published in the issue intended for thatcountry.2. PrerequisiteBefore any tests can begin, the ordering party must explicitly provide PHOTON Laboratory GmbH withthe data indicated in the “data request” addendum for the machine to be tested.The prerequisite for a generally accepted, conclusive and realistic test is that the inverter deviceprovided exempt from charges by the ordering party for measurement is a standard product with aserial number randomized from the current production. The manufacturer shall sign the followingdocuments to confirm compliance with this vital prerequisite:(a) Test agreement(b) Statutory declaration in lieu of an oath concerning the test agreementPHOTON Laboratory GmbH • Juelicher Strasse 376 • 52070 Aachen (Germany)Phone +49 – 241 / 40 03 – 53 00 • Fax +49 – 241 / 40 03 – 57 00 • info@photon-laboratory.com
