Follow on Google News | Photovoltaic Modules – faster quality testingToday, due to development of testing institutes and new laboratories all around the world, solar module testing has been quicker, which has led to the qualification to become a seller’s market.
By: SGS Electrical and Electronics Currently there have been many changes in all this and module qualification has sequentially become a buyer’s market. This is through several testing and certification super powers and leaders developing PV testing laboratories and the capacity of existing institutes has been extended gradually. At the moment there is enough capacity to cover the needs of the market and this certainly has many advantages for PV manufacturers. Quality testing - faster As more and more solar module qualification labs appear and fight for a share of the market, PV manufacturers have found themselves in a stronger position. This is great news, because every month PV manufacturers spend on module qualification means a delay to their product launch, which in turn means a loss of revenue. At the same time quality testing is essential at this stage; if design flaws are not identified and remedied before the product’s launch on the market, they could cripple a manufacturer’ Minimizing the risk of faulty modules is as important as cutting qualification times. To ensure that their innovations in materials are successful, manufacturers are increasingly requesting certifications that cover energy output, material qualification, equipment appraisal and production quality management. Catering to specific needs The intense competition between PV module manufacturers motivates many to request certifications (http://www.ee.sgs.com/ Combining its testing and certification capacities with the experience of SGS Institut Fresenius in the semiconductor industry (http://www.ee.sgs.com/ SGS can provide services for all stages of the photovoltaic life cycle (http://www.ee.sgs.com/ Find more info on SGS solar testing services at: www.sgs.com/ Jörn Brembach Business Manager Photovoltaics joern.brembach@ t +49 35203 390 910 # # # The SGS Group is the global leader and innovator in inspection, verification, testing and certification services.
