19Sep2018: Free Webinar – PV Module Testing Protocol for Quality Assurance Programs

Photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturers are usually required to conduct safety and qualification testing according to ANSI/UL 1703 or IEC 61730 and IEC 61215. These tests cannot validate products that must perform for 25 years or more in the field, however, so most PV module manufacturers perform extended reliability testing above and beyond safety and qualification
