PV Power Station Arrival Inspection-NOA Testing & Certification Group

PV Power Station Arrival Inspection

With the "13th Five Year Plan" entering the "14th Five Year Plan" era, China's photovoltaic installed capacity has been growing, and the third-party testing demand has become a rigid demand of investors. The arrival inspection and acceptance is a series of activities, such as sampling, testing and qualification determination of equipment such as arrived PV modules for the new and expanded photovoltaic power station project, according to the technical agreement on procurement of important components and relevant standards, entrusted by the power station owner, EPC, construction party, module manufacturer and other relevant parties through consultation. Through the arrival inspection service provided by NOA, problems such as visual defects, hidden cracks, broken modules, abnormal power and rear panel materials can be found before installation, and responsibilities can be clarified to avoid quality disputes in the later period.

NOA, as a fair and authoritative third-party service agency in the industry with multiple internal and external approvals, has an advanced power station testing and professional technical service team. So far, it has provided nearly 10GW of testing and inspection services for the new energy industry, serving more than 500 customers. Based on GB/T 6495, GB/T 2828, IEC 62446, NB/T 32034 and other standards, and in accordance with the contract, technical specifications, relevant standards for key equipment, sampling standards and other requirements of relevant parties of photovoltaic power stations, we provide arrival inspection services for large-scale ground centralized photovoltaic power stations, distributed photovoltaic power stations, poverty alleviation photovoltaic power stations of provincial or local governmentspoverty alleviation offices and and household photovoltaic power stations , An accurate and reliable third-party inspection and testing report would be issued.

Service Process

Q&A

1.How does the hidden crack occur, which could be found by module arrival inspection EL test?

Modules are trampled and hit during transportation, handling, etc., which will cause the module to produce a hidden crack that is not easy to be observed by the naked eye. When the cracking causes the fine grid line to break, the thin grid line cannot deliver the collected current to the main grid line, which will cause the battery to partially or even completely fail. It is recommended to track the operation of the problem modules for a long time and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.

2.What should I do if the arrival module is inconsistent with the box mark?

Timely feed back to the factory and the owner, check and analyze the causes. Comprehensively inspect the components that are inconsistent with the shipping marks to see if they are unqualified. If they are unqualified, suggest the owner to make a claim.

3.What is the impact of a small creepage distance on a module?

This results in insufficient withstand voltage and insulation distance. Poor electrical properties, poor insulation properties, there will be a large leakage current and even ignition phenomenon. It is recommended that the owner communicate with the factory to replace the component.

4.How do bubbles on the front panel of the cell affect the module?

When the module is used outdoors, due to the influence of light and normal operation of the module, the bubble will show a trend of expansion. In the long run, EVA at the bubble position will delaminate with the glass and the back panel, directly making the module scrapped. It is recommended that the owner communicate with the factory to replace the module.
