The rapid advancement of solar PV technology has significantly reduced PV module prices over the past few years. From discussing grid parity to now being the most competitive power source in many countries, solar PV has transformed the global renewable energy landscape.
As solar PV reaches economies of scale, its penetration in the energy mix continues to grow. However, this growth also brings increased concerns over PV module quality, performance, and warranty compliance.
To ensure long-term reliability, procuring PV modules that can endure extreme climatic conditions and harsh weather—without significant efficiency loss—is critical to utility-scale solar PV projects.
At SgurrEnergy, we have developed an extensive PV module inspection plan that covers all micro to macro aspects, focusing on critical quality parameters that guarantee safety, durability, and functionality. Our inspections ensure that every component used in manufacturing is free from defects and hazards, and that all finished modules meet global standards such as IEC, UL, and others.
Our quality assurance covers:
Inline inspection during manufacturing
Pre-shipment inspection
Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) for PV modules
We also align our inspection approach with our Construction Quality Assurance services to ensure end-to-end reliability, from the manufacturing plant to on-site installation.
Ensuring quality is not just a final check—it’s integrated throughout the manufacturing process. From raw material verification to shipment readiness, we maintain strict documentation and lot-wise reporting that highlights any non-conformities.
Clients receive complete transparency, enabling them to address issues before they affect project timelines, budgets, or long-term plant performance.
Compliance with international quality standards
Reduced risk of module failure in utility-scale solar projects
Improved long-term plant performance assessment
Increased confidence in solar investment decisions
Seamless integration with construction quality monitoring for project success
If you’re looking to safeguard your investment with independent PV module factory inspections, our quality assurance experts ensure your modules meet the highest standards—from factory to field.
