Solar PV Testing

Introduction
The time is now for clean, renewable energy technologies. Favorable government tax credits, a decreased dependency upon oil, and the need to stimulate the economy are just three of the planets that have aligned, favoring the expansion of technologies that harness the sun’s energy. Manufacturers of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) modules and panels strive to improve product effi ciency, reliability and cost effectiveness. To this end, it is necessary to perform requisite testing to insure products are capable of withstanding the environments they are likely to encounter during their intended lifetime.
