Third-party testing of photovoltaic brackets

What is performance testing for photovoltaic products?

Efficiency Demonstration – prove your product will meet its target efficiency at 10, 20, 30 years or more. Intertek offers Performance Testing for Photovoltaic Products helping you differentiate yourself with component testing, module Testing and system audits.

Can a stand-alone photovoltaic system be tested?

Abstract: Tests to determine the performance of stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems and for verifying PV system design are presented in this recommended practice. These tests apply only to complete systems with a defined load. The methodology includes testing the system outdoors in prevailing conditions and indoors under simulated conditions.

Can a PV system be tested if a load changes?

These tests do not cover PV systems connected to an electric utility. Test results are only relevant to the system tested. If the PV system or load changes in any way, then the tests should be rerun on the modified system. It may be desired to run performance tests on the load (s).

Does pro QC do a solar panel quality inspection?

Pro QC has agile teams of electrical and mechanical engineers in more than 88 countries ready to meet your quality assurance needs for projects ranging from a solar panel quality inspection to a comprehensive factory audit. What does a solar panel quality control inspection cover?

What is a bifacial solar module?

Bonds solar cells to the rear surface of the module. Degradation can result in discoloration, delamination and/or corrosion. Covers and protects the back of modules. In bifacial modules, a transparent rear surface allows reflected light into the module. Cracked backsheet or rear-side glass can lead to delamination, corrosion and/or safety concerns.

Are safety and component reliability issues addressed in a stand-alone PV system?

System safety and component reliability issues are not addressed in this recommended practice. Scope: Stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems provide energy to a load as well as to a battery storage system that powers the load at night or other times when the PV array output is insufficient.
