Quality control of PV modules is an important process that should be carried out prior to the construction of an installation. Failures and manufacturing defects significantly burden the output of the facility and therefore the investment.
However, before seeking a specialised team of technicians to undertake quality control, prior to the installation of the PV modules, it is equally important to determine what will be considered acceptable and what not regarding the results of the inspection.
Factory inspection is the primary method for ensuring product quality. However, some defects may often not be detected there or may be caused during the shipping process as a result of poor packaging and transportation. For this reason, incoming inspection acts as the final ‘quality gateway’.
Before purchasing PV modules, it is necessary to:
- ensure that the procurement agreement with the manufacturer includes the requisite for inspection before accepting the delivery
- determine the inspection procedure (control method, control sample percentage)
- agree on corrective measures in the event of a defective product (shipment of the number of frames that present a problem as spares)
- ensure that there is sufficient time to conduct the inspection before the mandatory acceptance of the product

- make it clear to the PV module manufacturer that the inspection does not concern the warranty but the acceptance of the delivery of the modules and that the responsibility until the acceptance of the delivery lies with them.
