About this event
As the world embraces solar more tightly, it is more imperative than ever that solar modules thrive in their new role as the building blocks of a clean energy future. PV’s appeal has always lied in its low impact, low maintenance ability to keep the lights on, yet behind the scenes the world of PV development is fast-moving. Standards in module performance and efficiency are continuously rising, not least because standards in PV module quality control and testing are setting the bar even higher. Improved testing standards will become ever-more vital components of a photovoltaic industry that is striding towards global prominence. The eyes of the world are turning to solar energy, and that means that failures and underperformance will soon be more heavily scrutinised than ever before.
This webinar will introduce a whole new chapter in photovoltaic quality control excellence, exploring in detail the launch of the exciting new Quality Controlled PV (QCPV) program from TÜV Rheinland, and examining how leading total energy solutions provider Q CELLS is the first mover in partnering with TÜV to raise industry standards for solar module efficiency and quality around the globe. Join TÜV Rheinland’s Lukas Jakisch, Global Coordinator of Technical Issues – PV modules, and Q CELLS’ Daniel Felsch-Kruse – Head of Global Quality Management - Customer Management and Final Goods; and Christian Taubitz – Technical Expert in R&D and Technology, for this enlightening deep-dive into a new catalogue of tests that go beyond industry-standard levels of approval and safety qualification. TÜV Rheinland will explain what factors drove and inspired them to develop the QCPV program, and Q CELLS will explain how customers and the industry as a whole will benefit from this new certification of quality.
The webinar will examine in detail the catalogue of new testing procedures from TÜV Rheinland that go above and beyond previous industry standard benchmarks.
- Customers can learn about the new three-level process of stress testing, quality surveillance measures and material and supplier monitoring that the QCPV program will cover
- Discover how these improved testing standards could help to improve the longevity and performance of solar projects
