Sinovoltaics to set up quality assurance testing in the United States

Dated | January 17, 2024. Sinovoltaics, a quality assurance testing firm, intends to open an office in the U.S., offering American customers their Zero Risk Solar inspection service, which utilizes artificial intelligence to conduct Electroluminescence (EL) analysis for detecting prevalent microcracks in solar modules. Sinovoltaics created SELMA, which stands for Sinovoltaics EL Mass Analysis. In contrast to standard methods for checking electro luminescence (EL) quality, which typically evaluate just a small subset of units through sample testing, SELMA examines every single module acquired for issues like microcracks and inherent cell defects. This ensures an unprecedented degree of quality control. The firm has bolstered its dedication to obtaining modules without any defects through a quality assurance supported by Munich Re, an international insurance behemoth. With the Zero Risk Solar service from Sinovoltaics, which is endorsed by Munich Re, it is assured that the PV modules provided to Sinovoltaics’ customers will be free from defects prior to dispatch. Should a warranty claim be made within a three-year period, Sinovoltaics agrees to compensate for expenses including dismantling, labor, and transportation. Beginning in 2020, the major Tier 1 producers of solar equipment have all adopted the SELMA system. In the year 2023, according to Sinovaoltaics, it examined over 90,013 million photovoltaic panels. Tier 1 factories typically experienced defective photovoltaic module turnover rates ranging from 1% to 3%, averting the distribution of potentially hundreds of thousands of flawed units. Dricus de Rooij, who co-founded Sinovoltaics and serves as its CEO, stressed that conducting thorough inspections on every single module is the sole method for guaranteeing that solar projects will operate with optimal efficiency.
