Independent US testing institute PVEL lists Meyer Burger modules in the highest category on its current top performer list

Meyer Burger Technology AG’s high-performance modules have made it into the highest category of “top performers” of all seven successful quality tests at the US testing institute PVEL (PV Evolution Lab) at the first attempt. Being a top performer in all tests is exceptionally rare, with less than six percent of the models listed as top performers achieving this status in all reliability tests. This was announced by the institute today (June 5, 2024) when it published its 10th Annual PV Module Reliability Scorecard.

“Only a few modules on the market achieve this award in different test strands at the same time,” said Madlen Apel, Head of Product Management at Meyer Burger. "”We can be proud to have achieved such a good result right from our first participation in the PVEL test procedure. This success impressively reflects our quality awareness and technology leadership in the industry and independently demonstrates the confidence in our products for all customers and investors.” The test results relate to Meyer Burger’s current product portfolio and the future utility module manufactured at the Goodyear, Arizona site.

The PVEL scorecard is considered one of the most important tests in the solar industry and offers comprehensive and independent test results. The focus is on reliability and performance tests, including analyses of temperature and humidity effects through to evaluating the effects of mechanical stress and hail, and covers all relevant degradation mechanisms. PVEL tests far beyond the usual IEC and UL standards. The results are not only a source of independent consumer information, but also provide crucial quality guidelines for bankability analyses at product reliability level.
