Kiwa PVEL, the independent lab for quality and reliability testing of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, today announced a significant update to its photovoltaic (PV) module Product Qualification ...

The independent test lab introduced test to failure methodologies and expanded hail and mechanical stress sequences to better reflect risks from extreme weather and glass breakage.

Kiwa PVEL has updated its solar module Production Qualification Program to better assess the performance of solar PV modules.

The reliable performance of PV modules is heavily influenced by the climate conditions in deserts, which include factors such as irradiance, temperature, humidity and dust soiling. Image: DEWA R&D. A ...

System-in-package (SiP) and other advanced packaging technologies are putting more components together in tighter spaces than previously seen. Often these packages are contained in a module, which is ...

Far-field and radiating near-field are two options for high-volume over-the-air (OTA) testing of antenna-in-package (AiP) modules with automated test equipment (ATE) [1]. In this article, we define an ...

Paul Brusenbach, manager of test engineering at Pico-light (Boulder, CO), has turned to PXI hardware for his company's latest tester. “We test optical transceivers,” Brusenbach said, “and for both the ...

US scientists recently put different bifacial solar cells and modules through a series of tests at elevated temperature, humidity, voltage and mechanical stress levels. The tests revealed a range of ...
