The 9th<\/sup> Edition Also Features More Module Model Types Than Ever Before<\/i><\/p>\n

NAPA, Calif.<\/span>, May 23, 2023<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), the leading independent test lab for the downstream solar industry and member of the Kiwa Group, today published its 2023 PV Module Reliability Scorecard, which names almost 250 model types of PV modules from 35 manufacturers as Top Performers in PVEL’s testing, the most in the company’s history.<\/p>\n

PVEL’s 2023 PV Module Reliability Scorecard<\/span> <\/div>\n

In its 9th<\/sup> Edition, the Scorecard provides actionable insights for PV module procurement based on data from PVEL’s lab and field testing. It summarizes results from the PV Module Product Qualification Program (PQP), a comprehensive testing regime established by PVEL in 2012 to provide empirical data for PV module benchmarking and project-level energy yield and financial models.<\/p>\n

“Solar technology and the manufacturer landscape continue to evolve rapidly, and with module supply issues persisting, buyers need guidance on how to procure the best possible modules for their projects,” said Tristan Erion-Lorico<\/span>, VP of Sales and Marketing at PVEL. “Our 2023 Scorecard features a truly global list of module manufacturers. For buyers worldwide looking to understand the critical differences across cell technologies and module designs, our Scorecard provides many key insights and an easy way to search through the best commercially available options for developers.”<\/p>\n

While the number of Top Performer manufacturers and models increased this year, so did the percentage of manufacturers experiencing a failure. Additionally, almost one third of the bills of materials (BOMs) tested suffered at least one failure during testing, and 15% of BOMs had a failure before stress testing.<\/p>\n
