pv magazine test Results from the first two years

The pv magazine test program was launched in July 2017. The test was designed to help investors in their module purchasing process, while at the same time allowing manufacturers to spot problems and improve their production processes. Fast forward to today and we have 16 products from 10 manufacturers covering five different module and cell types installed on the rooftop of Gsola’s facility in Xi’an China, having been tested and characterized in its lab. Among the 16 products, 14 were provided by manufacturers and two were selected directly from warehouses for reference. George Touloupas, Director of Technology and Quality at CEA, and Chi Zhang, Junior Engineer, Technology and Quality, at CEA delve into the valuable performance data.
