Why do solar photovoltaic plants need verification & inspection services?

For this reason, verification and inspection services in solar photovoltaic plants are essential to ensure the quality of the modules and check their performance. This is especially relevant during the construction and development phases of the project, as well as in the subsequent operation.

What happens if a PV module is not inspected?

Inadequate loading practices by the factory can result in damaged finished PV modules either during loading of the containers or at some point during transportation. Further, finished products that were previously rejected by CEA or that were not inspected by a third party altogether may end up getting shipped without oversight.

Is a photovoltaic system a building-integrated system?

Photovoltaic systems are considered to be building attached if the PV modules they utilise do not fulfil the criteria for BIPV modules. Photovoltaic modules are considered to be building-integrated if the PV modules form a construction product providing a function.

Are photovoltaic modules building-integrated?

Photovoltaic modules are considered to be building-integrated if the PV modules form a construction product providing a function. Thus, the BIPV module is a prerequisite for the integrity of the building’s functionality.

Are photovoltaic modules building-attached?

Photovoltaic modules are considered to be building-attached if the PV modules are mounted on a building envelope. The integrity of the building functionality is independent of the existence of a building-attached photovoltaic module.

How many photovoltaic modules can a laboratory test per day?

This laboratory can test more than 200 photovoltaic modules per day with an uncertainty of less than 3%. Due to its characteristics, it is capable of testing modules of up to 1400 x 2700 mm of different types (high efficiency crystalline modules, bifacial modules, thin film modules and PERC or HJT solar cells).
