6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panels are a product without any quality assurance]
Why do PV module test certificates need independent quality assurance?
Independent quality assurance is required to avert risks arising from the enormous cost pressures along the entire PV value chain. PV module test certificates that meet international standards represent a basic qualification.
Are PV modules underperforming?
Some PV modules were found to be underperforming by around -4% at the start of PV system operation, as determined by the comprehensive quality assurance work carried out by VDE Renewables.
What are the benefits of PV solar?
Distributed energy production combined with storage or special grid design can provide increased energy security during grid outages due to extreme weather or security problems. PV solar also has low water requirements, making it useful for regions with a limited or unreliable supply.
What happens if a PV system fails?
A shortfall of just a few per cent in the performance of a PV system can significantly reduce the investor’s return, whereas it normally has no effect on a participating lender. For this reason, the investor should pay very close attention to the quality assurance of the PV components.
