As solar modules grow in size and weight, certification standards are tightening. Alongside, cost-cutting in frames, glass and clamps is raising fresh quality concerns.
Testing for solar module certification is becoming more demanding, with many manufacturers unaware of the latest regulations. At the same time, larger and heavier modules are increasingly entering the market.
Trinasolar has been awarded the bankability certificate for its Vertex n-type TOPCon bifacial PV modules by TÜV Rheinland, an independent third-party agency for testing, inspection and certification.
Trinasolar has obtained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Norway and EPD International certification for its Vertex S+ rooftop module series. Both validations were carried out by TÜV Rheinland.
Aiko high-efficiency All Back Contact (ABC) solar modules have successfully passed the rigorous hail impact test conducted by TÜV Rheinland and have been awarded the world's first Swiss Hail VKF HW4 certification.
TÜV Rheinland has classified Tesvolt battery storage systems as safe. The certificate confirms the electrical and functional safety of the products. The manufacturer follows a multi-level safety concept.
TÜV Rheinland is investigating the potential of photovoltaic (PV) applications on and in rail infrastructure on behalf of the German Center for Rail Traffic Research (DZSF) at the Federal Railway Authority.
Module manufacturer Trina Solar has introduced its new generation of Vertex modules that can generate up to 670 watts of output.
Huawei’s smart string energy storage system (ESS) for residential use, the LUNA2000, received 2PfG 2511 and VDE-AR-E 2510-50 certificates from TÜV Rheinland, a Germany-based testing and certification service provider.
A comprehensive new study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) Photovoltaic Power Systems Technology Collaboration Programme (PVPS) provides information on the energy yield of photovoltaic (PV) modules and systems in different climatic zones worldwide.
Q Cells is the first solar module manufacturer to pass TÜV Rheinland’s new Quality Controlled PV certification, which has been created to set new and unique standards in solar module production, performance and durability.
Trina Solar announced recently that the Vertex series became the first 600W+ high-power modules in the PV industry to achieve TÜV Rheinland's IEC certifications for photovoltaic modules.
