ABSTRACT
The rate at which the photovoltaic industry expands is exponential, with a constant and quick renovation of both technology and materials. To guarantee the credibility of this growing industry, a reliability testing plan is needed, IEC 61215 (2005), which is usually known as Highly Accelerated Lifetime Testing (HALT), Ton et al. (2007). Nowadays, this plan is partially developed for silicon solar modules, but in the case of concentration systems this plan has to start from scratch.
