What is quality assurance & quality control in solar power plants?

Quality Assurance and Quality Control in solar power plants shelter PV plant owners from the procurement and commissioning of non-reliable components to protect their profits. This is crucial in a context where profit margins are tight, there is high demand, and the module manufacturing process is complex.

What is the international PV module quality assurance Task Force?

The International PV Module Quality Assurance Task Force was formed at the Forum to develop standards that can help customers quickly assess a PV product’s ability to withstand regional stresses and to gain confidence that purchased PV products will be of consistent quality.

How can quality control & quality assurance improve photovoltaic equipment quality?

By implementing proper quality control and solar quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing, shipping, installation, commissioning, and operation phases of photovoltaic equipment, the risks outlined above can be mitigated.

What is the international PV module quality assurance Forum?

The International PV Module Quality Assurance Forum was held in July of 2011 in San Francisco, organized and sponsored by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC), and the SEMI PV Group.
