Equipment
Services for the Major Components of Solar and Storage Systems
PV Modules
PV module technology is our core expertise. Our know-how on materials, production processes and requirements of this main component in PV systems can prevent future problems or assess existing weaknesses.
Inverter
The quality of the inverters plays an important role regarding the reliability and performance of power plants. We audit the manufacturer and monitor the production for your project.
Storage Equipment
Batteries and energy storage systems are becoming increasingly relevant to power plant integration. We assist in selecting and auditing the manufacture of battery cells and systems to eliminate production errors.
Contracting Assistance
A comprehensive contract is vital to protect your interests
Enforcing quality standards is only possible if the supply contract reflects the agreed terms. PI Berlin can provide a set of contract exhibits with clear criteria and remedies that are crucial to support your procurement activities. If you already have your own contract templates, let us review them and give you an expert opinion based on our vast experience dealing with suppliers.
Factory Audits
Ensuring production quality meets your expectations
Factory audits provide a valuable risk assessment of manufacturing facilities before production begin. Our Dashboards are an easy to access tool to get the relevant information at at glance with our comprehensive rating system. A final check with a corrective action review ensures all measures have been implemented to ensure quality production.
Production Supervision and Inspection
Making sure quality requirements are met with consistency
Once production starts, having an independent set of eyes in the factory assures the equipment is produced according to the customer’s expectations. In-factory pre-shipment inspections (PSI) ensure that each batch meets agreed quality criteria before being released for shipment. Equipment is only delivered once we provides our expert confirmation.
Lab Testing
Fast and reliable independent results
Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratories provide independent testing of modules from the factory or from the field. Our tests range from quick quality assessments, to in-depth failure analysis and long-term reliability simulations. In addition our lab in Berlin offers the whole range of tests required for the certification of PV modules.
Our outdoor test sites at various locations allow us to investigate new technologies such as the performance of bifcial PV modules.
