Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard

Kiwa PVEL''s Product Qualification Program (PQP) and Scorecard are the global solar industry''s trusted resources for PV module reliability and performance data.

Photovoltaic Qualification and Approval Tests

The finality of this test is to determine if the PV module can withstand low levels of dynamic mechanical load, mainly focusing on the more fragile parts such as the cells.

Inside the race to PV cell quality and compliance

PV module buyers now need to focus on upstream due diligence to manage quality. New US policies like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and Foreign Entity of

2024 PV Module Reliability Scorecard

Changes in PV module components can have big impacts on reliability and performance, and the industry''s certification tests are typically not rigorous enough to identify these potential issues.

Photovoltaic Module Qualification Plus Testing

But, it can be difficult to identify which PV modules will meet their warrantied performance level. Design qualification testing using tests such as IEC 61215 [2] and IEC 61730 [3,4] has been

The 2025 PV Module Manufacturing Quality Report

The remaining sub-categories represent various other cell quality issues, reflecting multifaceted risks posed by cell defects to the overall reliability and operational perfor-mance of PV modules.
