Evaluation of performance, quality and reliability of PV modules according to standards and in customer-specific tests

// Stress by temperature and/or humidity in climate chambers// Potential-induced degradation (PID)// STC-Performance measurements// Pre-conditioningforthin-filmPV// Mechanical load, electroluminescence (EL), thermography

Outdoor testing facilities for PV modules and PV systems

// Highly resolved acquisition of all relevant electrical and meteorological data

// Energy yield and performance ratio// Real module power in outdoor operation//Temperaturecoefficients,operationtemperature// Short- and long-term stability// Outdoor PID testing

// Since 1988 in Widderstall, Southern Germany// Since 2012 in Girona, Spain
