As part of our role, Enertis performed On-site Inspections and In-Lab PV modules accredited testing services in the context of end of Defects Liability Period (DLP). Additionally, Enertis has been present on other projects to perform Damage Assessment of PV modules that due to high loads over the surfaces, have suffered irreversible damages not visually detectable.

In terms of testing services to individual panels, one of the most requested is the EL inspection. Enertis has developed an EL analysis criterion (widely accepted) specifically focused on PV modules in operation and/or that suffered the consequences of extreme weather phenomena. For this reason, PV Developers, EPCs, Insurance Companies, Asset Managers relied on Enertis' expertise and confidence for PV modules defects analysis.
The testing/inspection capacity of Enertis is not limited to On-site inspections. Enertis QA/QC services cover all the value chain of a PV project, starting on the very early stages of Vendor's Qualification, Factory audits and Inspections, Advisory on MSA negotiations, BOM/production supervision and pre-shipment independent accredited lab testing in China.
