PAN and IAM Testing
PAN and IAM testing measures PV module performance at different temperature, irradiance and light angle conditions. |
Batch Testing
Batch testing helps buyers evaluate the quality, reliability, and performance of the PV modules produced for a given project. During project construction, a randomly selected subset of modules is sent from the factory to Kiwa PVEL to screen for defects and conduct performance and reliability tests. |
Fielded Module Testing
Module underperformance in the field can lead to significant financial impacts for the site owners. Kiwa PVEL’s testing of fielded modules helps to determine the level of underperformance and the related root cause for use in warranty claims and negotiations. Contact Kiwa PVEL to discuss your project needs further. |
Tracker-Module Compatibility Testing
Large-format module glass breakage when mounted on trackers has become a significant concern for the industry. Kiwa PVEL’s tracker-module compatibility testing helps component (tracker or module) manufacturers demonstrate durability and also provide site owners with confidence that their site’s mechanical designs will meet environmental conditions. Contact Kiwa PVEL to discuss your project needs further. |
Other Indoor Testing
Kiwa PVEL's in-lab module testing can include a variety of PQP related characterizations and stress tests such as thermal cycling, damp heat, hail testing, UV testing and others. Contact Kiwa PVEL to discuss your project needs further. |
