Raising the Bar: Defining acceptable quality levels for PV modules
Photovoltaic (PV) module technology continues to evolve – but has quality kept up? And how should the industry define quality?
In this white paper from Kiwa PVEL and Kiwa PI Berlin, we aim to provide the industry with guidance on module acceptance across Product Qualification Program (PQP) extended reliability testing, Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI), Batch Testing and Ongoing Reliability Monitoring (ORM).
Kiwa PVEL and Kiwa PI Berlin’s review of recent module testing data and in-factory data discussed in this report shows improvements in the industry which allow buyers to “raise the bar” on quality requirements within their agreements. These key aspects of managing quality are further defined in Kiwa’s PV Module Procurement Best Practices.
