Assure your PV Investment: Quality Control & Consulting Expertise
We boost your solar energy initiatives by providing comprehensive technical, engineering, financial, and strategic advisory support throughout their entire lifespan.
Testing Laboratory
We don’t just keep up with the solar industry; we set the new standards. Our company counts with the first laboratory in Europe accredited for field measurement of the entire PV generation system.
We offer comprehensive quality control testing for every component of your PV plant, including modules, inverters, trackers, and cabling. Whether on-site or in our advanced facilities, all tests are conducted to uphold the highest standards before or after installation. You can trust that your solar investment is in expert hands, ensuring its quality throughout the over 35 years of operation of the PV plant and advancing sustainable energy solutions.
We perform our tests during all the operational phases: SAT, Commissioning, Operational phase, and in end of warranty.

Storage gets the deepest gate
Storage is safety-critical, so its FAT goes furthest: the full system is proven before it ships, and re-verified on site at the Site Acceptance Test (SAT). QPV can run both, so what you accept is what was contracted, and what operates.
Capacity & RTE
Usable energy, round-trip efficiency
BMS & protections
SoC/SoH, balancing, alarms, trips
PCS & grid behaviour

Thermal management

Comms / SCADA / EMS

Standards. Our inspection and FAT protocols reference, as a minimum UL 9540 / 9540A, IEC 62619 / 63056, UN 38.3 and NFPA 855.
