For PV plant owners, projectowners, EPC’s, installers and wholesalers
PV Factory Inspections in China and rest of Asia
PV module prices are under considerable pressure. PV manufacturers are competing at the cutting edge, which can also put pressure on quality. It is therefore increasingly important to assess quality in an independent manner. A good way to do this is by carrying out factory inspections and PV import tests. And this is where we can help you out.
Let us create a customized Factory Inspections plan for your organisation!
Audit, supervision, 3rd party Lab testing, pre-shipment testing and/or import testing
The different components of PV module testing at OdinSpire
During a PV module test at the independent OdinSpire laboratory, the solar panels will be tested according to severe standards. The PV module tests may contain a thorough visual inspection, EL testing and IV testing. During the visual inspection, the PV modules will be inspected in terms of waterproof connections, visible damages, JB and wiring. During the EL inspection potential microcracks in the modules will be assessed. Finally, the IV inspection will be used to assess the Pmax of the PV module. During this test a state-of-the-art solar simulator of Eternal Sun will be used.
Sure about solar? Then a factory inspection might be great idea!
In China, India or South East-Asia by local team: audits, production supervision, independent third lab testing, pre-shipment tests
During an PV module test before ownership transfer, you will be able to get a pretty good idea about the quality status of the PV modules you have purchased. However, in order to be sure about solar it might be recommendable to set up a full Factory Inspection as well. During this Inspection the manufacturer in Asia will be audited and inspected by an independent local team. Would you like to know more about Factory inspections? Then click on the button below.
