"The problem of simulated low-velocity\r\nhail impacts on flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules\r\nresting on a substrate with variable stiffness is investigated.\r\nFor this type of PV module it is shown that the\r\nprescriptions of the IEC 61215 International Standard\r\nfor quality control used for rigid (glass-covered) PV\r\nmodules should be augmented by taking into account\r\ntheir real mounting condition and the stiffness of the\r\nsubstrate in the simulated hail impact tests. Moreover,\r\nelectroluminescence inspection of the crack pattern\r\nshould be made in addition to electric power output\r\nmeasurements.An implicit finite element simulation of\r\nthe contact problem in dynamics is also proposed, with\r\ntwo different degrees of accuracy, to interpret the\r\nexperimentally observed extension of cracking.\r\nResults pinpoint the important role of stress wave\r\npropagation and reflection in the case of soft substrates."^^ .
