Test conducted by PVEL LLC on SOMERA monocrystalline silicon and ELDORA polycrystalline silicon PV modules
Munich, 14 May 2019: Vikram Solar, one of India’s leading module manufacturers and a prominent rooftop solar & EPC solutions provider announced a successful PQP(Product Qualification Program) tests result. The assessment was done by PVEL LLC, an independent solar test lab previously operated by DNV GL. This announcement was made on the sidelines of Inter Solar EU 2019, where Vikram Solar is present at booth A1.714.
Earlier in 2017, Vikram Solar had claimed a position in the PV Module Reliability Scorecard Report 2017, published by the leading global certification body DNV GL. This year, the company submitted its SOMERA monocrystalline silicon and ELDORA polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules for accelerated stress testing and characterization under PVEL LLC’s (PVEL) Product Qualification Program (PQP) 2019. The results met and exceeded international quality and performance benchmarks.
Mr. Ivan Saha, Business Unit Head of Manufacturing & CTO, Vikram Solar, expressed “At Vikram Solar, we have always been focused towards upholding high quality and performance standards. Our consistency in meeting international standards testifies our commitment to our customers and investors. We are glad that our investments in state-of-the-art production technology, top quality Bill of Materials and quality control strategies are paying off and this milestone re-iterates the long term performance and bankability guarantees that we bring to the table.”
He also added, “Bankability of projects will not only ensure that solar gains a greater pie in the energy mix, but will also improve the confidence of investors and developers. We are proud that we have been consistently giving customers the right solar modules to make projects bankable.”
The PQP is a comprehensive evaluation of environmental sensitivities and degradation mechanisms of PV module designs. Real-world failure mechanisms are simulated in a controlled laboratory environment, and state-of-the-art module characterization techniques are utilized to measure the performance of the panels as they progress through the protocol. Vikram Solar PV modules went through extremely long duration (upto 4X IEC) test protocols like – Thermal Cycling, Damp Heat, UV Exposure, Dynamic mechanical load, PID test, Light Induced Degradation, low to nil power degradation after these tests.
Vikram Solar is spearheading India’s solar revolution with 1040 MW EPC capacity portfolio including commissioned and under execution, Rooftop and Ground-mounted projects. The company currently has a manufacturing capacity of 1.1 GW and has customer base across 6 continents.
