PV modules lab testing
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) energy systems are leading the market when talking about renewable energy sources. In OCA Global we are part of this industry by providing high quality tailor-made testing solutions for manufacturers and service providers in the PV industry.
Over the years, we have built an international network of experts to guide our clients on every step of the testing and certification process in this new, complex and rapidly growing sector.
OCA Global knows better than anyone that offering high quality services is very demanding, so we work every day to offer the best and most competitive services to our clients. High-quality PV modules are subject to a big number of strict requirements, from delivering the guaranteed rated power reliably to withstanding an extremely wide range of environmental conditions, but having the support and experience of OCA Global in your project guarantees the best results.
We are able to offer a wide range of quality control testing services conducted according to national and international standards ensuring quality and reliability in photovoltaic systems. Our objective is to guarantee the system’s high yield on the long term by providing safety and state-of-the-art solutions to extend the life of PV modules.
Through our international network of partners and laboratories, we can provide certification and electrical safety testing for PV modules under the IEC standards 61215, 61730, 60904, 61853, 62804, EN 28510, as well as for the other components of the PV plant, or according to many other industry standards, such as UL 1703, UL 1741, ULC/ORD-C1703-1, CSA22.2 Nº 107.1.
Testing and certification services can be performed during any phase of the project life cycle:
- Purchasing/manufacturing phase
- Construction & commissioning phase
- Provisional and definitive acceptance
- In-service phase
- End of the operating life of the Installation
