Testing crystalline solar modules

PV modules are tested. Performance confirmed.

In order to guarantee their function and high yields, PV modules should be checked regularly. Processes such as flash, electroluminescence and thermography tests can be used to determine performance parameters and malfunctions. Possible damage can have different causes.


Types of damage

  • reduced performance
  • Micro cracks, broken cells and inactive areas
  • Defective bypass diodes
  • Hotspots and other thermal anomalies
  • Manufacturing quality


Causes of damage

  • Shipment
  • Incorrect installation
  • Hail & Storm
  • Lightning strike/overvoltage nbsp;

Test procedures


Flash test

This test shows the performance of the solar panel through high-power LED flashes.


Electroluminescence test

High-resolution electroluminescence images make fractures and microcracks on the solar cells visible.


Thermography test

A thermal imaging camera enables the detection of thermal anomalies in the solar cells in the photovoltaic module.


Errors that can be detected with the PV test centre:

origin of loss

transport damage

installation damage

damage caused by hail

storm damage

lightning damage / overvoltage damage

Reduced performance / lack of performance / loss of performance

Microcracks, cell breakage, inactive areas

Defective bypass diodes

Hotspots and other thermal features

Production quality of solar modules

Important information:

The data sheet and the connector type of the module to be tested must be submitted 5 days before the test date.

In order to get a usable result, the modules must be cleaned.

The modules must be delivered with a lifting platform. Loading and unloading for self-delivery is carried out by the customer.

The test results can be transmitted via dropbox or USB stick. If no USB stick is transmitted or brought along, 12.00 €/USB stick will be charged.
