| Summary: | This project aimed to establish a
performance test specification to ensure that when a
PV-powered solar lantern (PVSL) successfully completed the
tests, it would be expected to have an extended period of
life without failure at the specified performance level. The
project also aimed to establish a specification that could
be used for the certification of PVSL performance. Since
PVSLs are shipped worldwide, obviously the result should be
global in scope so that all manufacturers in every country
can use the specifications. The goal is to provide consumers
with an easy visual recognition that the PVSL they intend to
buy is a quality product and can be clearly distinguished
from products of unknown quality. |
