This division is responsible for developing methods, procedures and infrastructure for carrying out tests, trials and certification of equipment, components and systems related to electrical energy.

 

This includes assessing compliance with technical standards, verifying performance and safety, and ensuring the quality of products and services in the energy sector. The Testing and Certification division plays a key role in ensuring the quality and safety of devices related to solar PV, with a particular focus on PV modules and inverters.

 

When it comes to PV modules, this division develops and implements rigorous testing protocols to evaluate the electrical, mechanical and thermal performance of these devices. This includes testing conversion efficiency, output power stability over time, resistance to adverse weather conditions such as humidity and UV exposure, as well as structural durability to ensure the longevity and reliability of PV modules throughout their service life.

 

In addition, the division performs tests on photovoltaic inverters, which are essential components of solar energy systems, responsible for converting the electrical energy generated by photovoltaic modules into usable alternating current to power electrical loads. Tests on photovoltaic inverters cover a variety of aspects, such as conversion efficiency, dynamic response to varying solar irradiation and temperature conditions, output waveform quality, grid synchronization capability, as well as electrical safety assessment and protection against overvoltages and short circuits.
