Houyao Participated in the 2026 ATPV Technology Forum Spring Conference
Date: May 13, 2026
Location: Wuxi, China
On May 13, 2026, the 2026 ATPV Technology Forum Spring Conference was successfully held in Wuxi, China. As an important technical exchange platform for the photovoltaic industry, the forum brought together representatives from research institutions, testing and certification organizations, material suppliers, photovoltaic manufacturers, and industry experts to discuss key topics related to PV technology innovation, material reliability, product testing, and long-term performance evaluation.
Shanghai Houyao Test Equipment Co., Ltd. participated in the forum and delivered a technical presentation during the session focused on core PV component materials and stability. Mr. Ni Wei, General Manager of Houyao, presented a speech titled "Application of UV Light Sources in the Photovoltaic Industry", sharing Houyao's technical understanding and practical experience in UV testing applications for PV products.
During the presentation, Houyao introduced several key topics, including common UV testing products used in the photovoltaic industry, different UV light source technologies, key factors affecting UVB radiation, and the applications of super UV and composite UV testing.
As photovoltaic products are increasingly deployed in complex outdoor environments, PV modules are exposed to long-term environmental stresses such as sunlight, temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet radiation. UV exposure is one of the key factors influencing material aging, encapsulation reliability, weather resistance, and long-term power degradation.
Based on its experience in PV testing equipment development and project implementation, Houyao analyzed the characteristics and application scenarios of different UV light sources and shared practical insights into how UV testing supports product development, quality control, certification testing, and failure analysis.
Shanghai Houyao Test Equipment Co., Ltd. has long been dedicated to the research, development, design, manufacturing, and system integration of environmental and reliability test equipment. The company continues to focus on the evolving testing needs of the photovoltaic and new energy industries, continuously improving equipment performance, reliability, and project delivery capabilities.
In recent years, Houyao has accumulated extensive experience in PV module environmental testing, UV aging testing, composite environmental stress testing, and customized large-scale test systems. Its equipment has been widely applied in enterprise laboratories, testing and certification institutions, and research platforms.
Participation in the ATPV Technology Forum provided Houyao with an important opportunity to exchange technical ideas with industry experts, research institutions, certification organizations, and PV manufacturers. Through this forum, Houyao further strengthened its understanding of industry trends and gained valuable feedback for future product development and technical optimization.
The high-quality development of the photovoltaic industry depends on a scientific, reliable, and efficient testing and evaluation system. Testing equipment plays an essential role not only in product validation, but also in reliability research, test consistency, and long-term performance assessment.
Houyao will continue to focus on environmental and reliability testing technologies, providing professional, stable, and reliable testing equipment and integrated solutions for the photovoltaic and new energy industries. The company will also continue to participate in industry exchanges and technical cooperation, working together with partners to support the advancement and practical application of PV testing technologies.
To support the growing demand for UV testing in the photovoltaic industry, Houyao has developed a series of UV-related testing solutions, including UV Aging Test Chambers, Composite UV Test Chambers, and Super UV Test Chambers. These systems can support PV module and material aging evaluation, reliability verification, and relevant standard testing.
The UV Aging Test Chamber is designed for UV aging tests of photovoltaic modules and related materials. It can be used to evaluate the weather resistance and reliability performance of products under ultraviolet irradiation conditions.
Depending on the testing requirements, different UV light source configurations, such as fluorescent UV lamps or metal halide lamps, can be selected to simulate different UV exposure conditions for PV material and module evaluation.
The Composite UV Test Chamber can simulate multiple environmental stresses, including UV irradiation, temperature, and humidity. It is suitable for accelerated aging evaluation under conditions closer to real outdoor service environments.
This system supports reliability testing of PV modules and materials under combined environmental stress, helping users better understand long-term durability and performance degradation behavior.
The Super UV Test Chamber provides high-intensity UV irradiation, with irradiance up to 1000 W/m². It is suitable for rapid UV resistance verification of PV encapsulation materials, backsheets, films, and other functional materials.
By applying high-intensity UV stress within a shorter test period, the system can accelerate the exposure of material performance changes, supporting material screening, formulation optimization, and reliability evaluation.
Through continuous technical development and practical project experience, Houyao will further enhance the specialization, standardization, and engineering application of PV testing equipment. The company remains committed to providing advanced testing solutions that support product quality improvement, reliability evaluation, and sustainable development in the photovoltaic industry.
