The US is adding 13 gigawatts of solar each year which is equivalent to 33 million 400 watt solar modules. While module technology is relatively mature - solar PV panels have been made commercially for nearly 70 years - the panels are fast evolving with new cell technologies, backsheets and bifacial technologies coming on the market all the time. Solar installers, solar developers and project owners can all benefit by learning more about the PVEL Downstream Partner Program and the PQP - Product Qualification Programs. In addition to their annual Module Reliability Report, PVEL and DNVGL also publish an annual Inverter Scorecard and Battery Storage Scorecard.
The 2020 PV Module Reliability Scorecard highlights major advancements in PV module technology while noting safety and performance failures. PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), the leading independent test lab for the global downstream solar industry published the 6th Edition of its PV Module Reliability Scorecard in partnership with DNV GL, the world’s largest resource of independent experts and certification body. The report reveals eight new Top Performers compared to the 2019 Scorecard. However, it also shows that some manufacturers overlooked minimum safety and quality controls in the rush to bring innovative PV cell and module technologies to market. “A diverse array of PV technologies has upended conventional R&D timelines to achieve rapid commercialization, leading PVEL to test more cell and module combinations for our 2020 Scorecard than at any point in our ten-year history,” said Tara Doyle, Chief Commercial Officer of PVEL.

4yModule quality is not measured by the BNEF Tier One List which is why the PVEL PQP is so important for #solar installers, developers and asset owners. The Downstream Market gets free access to all the nitty gritty testing and reliability data. Luke Timmins Lynn Jurich Andrew L. Dunn Lucy Chow Patrick P. L. T. Jinko Solar Trina Solar
