This inspection covers visual inspection, quantity verification, field testing and measurements, and certification checks such as IEC, UL, and CE marking. These inspections can be performed at various stages, including: Apart from our quality control inspections for solar PV, we provide a variety of vendor assessment services.
One effective method is to conduct a during-production inspection. This quality check thoroughly inspects each panel’s materials, manufacturing process, and performance characteristics to ensure they meet the required standards. Ensuring the quality of solar panels during production inspection is important for multiple reasons:
A solar module quality check during production comprises of various components, including a detailed assessment of workmanship, documentation, and field tests and measurements – but the solar PV inspection checklist can vary depending on case by case. 1. Assessing the Workmanship of the PV Panels
The CELL-Q inline inspection system checks the front or back of solar cells and sorts them into different color and quality classes according to their optical properties. In a single inspection step, CELL-Q checks every solar cell's print quality and anti-reflection coating.
Quality control plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of PV modules. The process is highly intricate and involves several components, such as silicon cells, glass, and wiring. While the production process involves collaboration with multiple suppliers and manufacturers, making quality control challenging.
In a single inspection step, CELL-Q checks every solar cell's print quality and anti-reflection coating. Any print and color defects on all cell technologies are reliably detected.
