Our testing and certification services for solar technology
Proper operation of PV modules and other components like PV inverters depend on appropriate PV component properties as well as safety and efficiency documentation. Our experts are able to provide a wide range of versatile testing and certification services from one source – our own global test labs. Proper testing laboratories, which can both simulate distribution grids and PV generators, are needed to measure efficiency and network properties to deliver surveys of various operating conditions. We test your products’ compliance with all common norms, guidelines and quality requirements.
In addition, our requirements such as 2 PfG 1940/12.11 and diverse UL standards designate the electrical, mechanical and construction requirements to which components must comply in order to guarantee sufficient long term safety against hazards such as electric shocks or catching fire. They also lay out specific material requirements for fireproofing and resistance against environmental stress like UV radiation.
Upon successful testing, a certificate will be issued and the right to use our globally recognized test mark can be awarded.

PVKLIMA Project – 2012 – 2016
TÜV Rheinland India has initaited the project in association with Project Management Julich, Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH-Germany under the name of PVKLIMA. The new outdoor facility is comming up near Chennai.
PVKLIMA project is related to outdoor measurements of modules with different technology from manufacturers across the globe.
Aim of the PVKLIMA project to study the behavior of different technologies subjected to moderate zone i.e. high humid and high temperature.
5 locations selected across the globe based on different climatic conditions are Germany, Italy, Japan, USA and India. The former 4 are already commissioned and testing is on. Chennai in India will be the fifth one to have such facility. Site preparation and commissioning is in progress and planned to start the measurements by January-2014 onwards.
