OUR RESOURCES

PV module compliance testing ensures that solar panels conform to international quality standards and will survive in an outdoor environment for their expected lifetimes. Validation and verification tests require specific instrumentation to complete. At Ingenia we invest in the latest specialist equipment to ensure that our laboratory technicians and engineers have the tools they need to provide the most accurate results.

  Performance at low irradiance (according to section 10.7 of the standard
    UNE-EN 61215:2005 / IEC 61646:2008)

  Performance of temperature and irradiance corrections 
    (according to IEC 60891:1994)

  I-V curve (according to IEC 60904-1:2006)

  PV module references (according to IEC 60904-6:1994)

  Thermographic cameras and power supply which are used to detect resistive hot-spots during
    the thermographic Inspection.

  Electric insulation resistance tester which is used to perform the Insulation Test 
   (according to section 10.3 of the standard UNE-EN 61215:2005 / IEC 61646:2008).

  I-V Curve tracer which is used to check electrical strings of PV Modules on-site 
   (according to IEC 60904-1:2006).

  Irradiance and temperature meters, power analyzer and amperimetric clamps which are used to
   check the PV plant performance on-site.

INGENIA'S LABORATORY is capable of testing 200 PV modules per week. The laboratory can easily co-ordinate the receipt, storage and transfer of large PV panels from multiple clients, suppliers and locations. 

INGENIA'S REMOTE OPERATIONS CENTRE (ROC) at Albacete controls and monitors the performance of PV systems all year long. The Centre is resourced by a team of technicians using high performance computer hardware and software which is upgraded regularly and supported to ensure optimum performance.
