Portable Solar Photovoltaic Lanterns : Performance and Certification Specification, and Type Approval

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 perfor...
