For over a decade, Kiwa PVEL’s Product Qualification Program (PQP) and the annual Scorecard have been the industry’s premier resource for replacing PV module assumptions with quantifiable metrics. Our 2023 Scorecard site had over 55,000 visitors from over 180 countries!
For this 10th Scorecard, Kiwa PVEL is honored to present even more Top Performer manufacturers. And there is plenty more to celebrate: we’ve introduced a Top Performer category for hail testing; we’ve set a higher bar, with updated Top Performer requirements for LID+LETID and PAN; we’ve added a page focused on our industry leading IAM testing; and we’ve given special distinction to manufacturers that are Top Performers in multiple tests.
On each test page you’ll find valuable information, including the latest key takeaways and test result spotlights on attention-grabbing findings. And while our Top Performer search tool highlights more models than ever before, failures still happen. Each test page features some concerning failures, and the Failures page dives deeper.
The Scorecard equips buyers with essential information, but module procurement remains nuanced. We caution that the Scorecard is not a shopping list. Accessing the full PQP test reports and specifying top performing bills of materials are essential steps within Kiwa Solar’s procurement best practices. Beyond the Scorecard, Kiwa PVEL’s Premium Partner Program provides more granular data and quarterly updates, helping multiple companies procure better modules.
Thank you for turning to Kiwa PVEL for your industry insights and enjoy the 2024 Scorecard!
