Kiwa PVEL has updated its solar module Production Qualification Program to better assess the performance of solar PV modules.

Kiwa PVEL, the independent lab for quality and reliability testing of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, today announced a significant update to its photovoltaic (PV) module Product Qualification ...

The independent test lab introduced test to failure methodologies and expanded hail and mechanical stress sequences to better reflect risks from extreme weather and glass breakage.

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, larger module sizes and greater energy output, the structural integrity and long-term performance of modules have become critically compromised.

Solar panel testing lab Kiwa PVEL has updated its Product Qualification Program (PQP). The revisions address growing concern ...

Spain's Center for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT) has commissioned a state-of-the-art large-area solar simulator designed for the electrical characterization of commercial ...

The future of solar module design will be heavier, not lighter. With hail and extreme weather events increasing, module manufacturers are expected to shift toward thicker glass to improve impact ...
