Module Performance For Manufacturers
We are a world-class provider of advanced testing services essential for optimizing PV module performance.
Module Bankability
Extended Reliability
- Standardized tests to benchmark the quality of solar panels and estimate long-term degradation rates. Tests include: thermal, mechanical, humidity, PID, UVID, LeTID
- Often required by financial institutions
Hail and Mechanical Strength Validation
- Stress modules to failure using hail cannon and mechanical load testing
- Compare resilience of module technologies
- Validate resilience of project tracker/module design
PAN Files, IAM, and CEC
PAN Files
- Highly-accurate, third-party PAN file generation using IEC 61853-1 performance matrix measurements and proprietary PANOPT single-diode model optimization
- Pre-manufacturing PAN file reviews and validation
IAM (Incident Angle Modifier) Testing
- Evaluate the response of modules to light coming from various angles
- Validate ARC coating performance
- Outdoor options
California Energy Commission (CEC) Testing
- Required by the State of California and many other states for rebate programs and commercial deployments of PV modules
Outdoor Testing
Outdoor Testing Program
- Verify fielded module degradation rates in outdoor test yard
- Compare outdoor performance to simulation models
- Single axis tracking or fixed tilt options
- Testing intervals from one quarter to multi-year
- Detailed periodic performance analytics and reporting
- Supports all module technologies including TOPCON, HJT, CdTe
