DNV GL released the latest PV Module Reliability Scorecard Report 2017 and named Astronergy among top performers.

DNV GL developed the Product Qualification Program to provide PV equipment buyers and PV power plantinvestors with independent and consistent reliability and performance data to help implement an effectivesupplier management process.It evolves with time to take into account new insights in understanding degradation mechanisms.

DNV GL’s test covered the total production cycle and full list of materials. DNV GL strictlyinspected all cells and bill of materials (BOM) on-site before mass production and conducted inspection on the manufacturing process.After the production, DNV GL randomly selected Astronergy PV modules and BOM from the production lines which are representative of actual commercial production and shipped them back to labs. The reliability tests consisted of Thermal Cycling, Damp Heat, Ultraviolet light exposure, Dynamic mechanical load, Potential induced degradation and Hot Spot test. Among all tests, Astronergy PV modules achieved excellent results.

In the past 3 years, DNV GL has executed more than 75 PV Module Product Qualification Programs with morethan 40 module manufacturers. Nine of the top ten global module manufacturers and more than 70% of thelatest Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) “Tier 1” manufacturers have taken part in the PQP.

GNV DL provides classification, technical assurance, softwareand independent expert advisory services to the maritime, oil & gas and energy industries. The Company We continuously invests in research and collaborative innovation to provide customersand society with operational and technological foresight.

“Astronergy is always committed to high quality and reliability products. The great 3rd party’s test result marks our daily effort in delivering excellent products and best values to our customers. Astronergy is the right partner to the clients.” The Astronergy CEO, Dr. Chuan Lu, commented.

about Astronergy

Astronergy was established in 2006 and is specialized in crystalline silicon solar modules manufacturing and utility scale project development, financing, construction and operations & maintenance with more than 4000 employees all over the world. After 10 years stable growth, we now have 4 domestic manufacturing bases, and overseas factories located in Germany(acquired from Conergy in 2014), and Thailand. Our factory production capacity is 1.2 GW for crystalline silicon cells and 2.5GW for solar modules. Bloomberg lists Astronergy as Tier 1 solar module supplier for consecutive years. Photon consulting ranked Astronergy as NO.1 player in the PV triathlon report. Astronergy’s technology leadership, financial health, downstream diversity and risk management got wide recognition from advisors, financial institutions and banks. In 2016, the reverse merge with Chint Electrics, a listed company in Shanghai Stock Exchange, strengthened Astronergy’s financial position, allowing it to pursue new markets in module distribution and deploy further capital in its downstream business in the near future.

DNV GL將正泰太陽能評為頂級組件商

在DNV GL發布的最新版《2017年組件可靠性報告》中，正泰太陽能以其優越的組件測試性能被評為頂級廠商。

為了幫助光伏電站投資商更有效地實施供應商管理流程，DNV GL開發了產品評估計劃，只有獨立以及擁有持續穩定表現數據的產品才能夠通過認證評估，組件的逐年衰減機制也被納入考核范圍。

DNV GL的測試涵蓋產品完整的生產周期以及所有的原材料檢測。在產品投入量產之前，DNV GL會嚴格審查所有的物料清單，并且在之后嚴密檢查產品的生產過程。DNV GL從正泰太陽能的生產線上隨機挑選組件產品和生產物料作為實際商品制樣，并將其運回實驗室進行測試檢測。產品可靠性測試的內容包括了熱循環、濕熱、紫外線照射、動態機械載荷、PID衰減以及熱斑測試。正泰太陽能的光伏組件以優越的性能通過這一系列嚴格的測試。

在過去的三年中，DNV GL已經為40余家組件生廠商進行了超過75項組件產品認證，全球前十的組件產商中有九家以及超過70%的彭博新能源財經一級制造商都、參加DNV GL的產品認證，其具有相當高的權威性。

正泰太陽能總裁陸川博士說：“正泰太陽能始終致力于為客戶提供高質量的可靠產品。通過第三方測試得到的卓越的結果也顯示出我們為始終如一向客戶提供最尖端卓越的產品所作出的不懈努力。”
