Berlin institute of photovoltaic components quality report was questioned

Solar photovoltaic net news: in January, Berlin photovoltaic research institute ( PI Berlin） Published a white paper, prompt photovoltaic manufacturer's production quality has improved in recent years. The study shows that the quality of the large manufacturers are more reliable, the quality of the manufacturers in Asia particularly well, China, Korea and southeast Asia manufacturing facilities performance on average higher than that of American or European factories.

this leads us and European manufacturers, they questioned the PI (not enough in their factory audit, and draws such a conclusion. After all, the institute of marketing and product management director Ian Gregory told pv magazine, they test review 67 gw of capacity, only 1. 75 gw ( 2%) Facilities from Europe and the United States.

this review most of the work is done by Solarbuyer PI Berlin subordinates. Solarbuyer believes that in the 300 - capacity 1000 megawatts between company belongs to & other; Smaller manufacturers & throughout; , and only after receiving clear requirements, will be to test the capacity below 300 megawatts of manufacturers audit. This situation makes most of the European manufacturers into a mess.

Gregory said that this kind of test review is usually at the request of a large project developers or investors, which will be updated once a year. And investors according to the special requirements of more factors, using the same parameter testing, in order to produce comparable results. He added that has nothing to do with the production performance risk.

the white paper used in the detection of audit results from 2012 - 18 years. In this period of time, manufacturers have to divided into rising trend. In 2017, for example, about 40% of the factory received & other; Good & throughout; Or & other Above average throughout the &; The score. Four years ago, only 20% of the factories have made such a success. And tests on the contents of the audit are also adjusted to match the modern component manufacturing process. For example, increased the half cut or double component production quality requirements, etc.

white paper barely mentioned European manufacturing to the quality of the components. When asked about the number of European manufacturers tested review, Gregory said have a confidentiality agreement with the manufacturer. Shown in the paper, he said, as a result, a measure of capacity of geographical position shift & ndash; — The main production concentrated in China and southeast Asia.

in principle, PI Berlin can testing review of each manufacturer. But only if the investor or the bank asked for these data, the PI Berlin will reap the rewards. The results of the test review will be in audit report to potential buyers. In order to maintain independence, detection of audit of the money is borne by the audit institutions themselves.
