The independent assessment process by Black & Veatch involves a thorough evaluation of all critical manufacturing processes, documents, and reports. Vikram Solar was earlier successfully audited by B&V in 2015.
Commenting on the completion of the assessment, Mr. Ivan Saha, Business Unit Head of Manufacturing & CTO said “Rapid advancements in PV technologies have created an environment where investors and PV developers require due diligence of major PV equipment. Undertaking this independent assessment of our modules demonstrates our commitment towards our global client base as well as financial institutions to help them make informed decisions with certainty.”
