PV module power And integrity testing 

NERC SOLAR Lab provides all measurement and test methods needed for an objective analysis of solar modules in the lab and in the field. With the advanced equipment, insufficient output as well as hidden defects like micro cracks, inactive areas, hotspots and other quality issues can be identified quickly and reliably.

What? 

Photovoltaic (PV) module power and integrity tester is important part of quality control for PV modules. The inspection systems provides electroluminescence inspection, IV-curve measurement using an LED flasher, infrared imaging HiPot-Testing and UV-fluorescence image acquisition. It is a powerful tool for detecting microcracks and other defects that may not be visible through visual inspection. Even on site.
