Investigation of solar power generation equipment malfunctions
We will propose solutions to your problems with solar cell modules and solar power generation equipment, utilizing our expertise in fault detection.
● Evaluation/Analysis of Solar Cell Modules We conduct failure analysis and performance evaluation of solar cell modules. - Non-destructive testing: We reveal failure conditions through EL measurements and output measurements equivalent to product shipment inspections. - Destructive testing: We identify the causes of failure through cross-sectional component analysis of the defective parts. ● On-site Investigation We investigate the damage to solar panels caused by natural disasters and the causes of power generation decline. - We propose appropriate methods, starting with measurements using Solament, to investigate failure conditions and causes. - Based on the investigation results, we provide a survey report for insurance companies.
basic information
Service Features ● Evaluation/Analysis of Solar Cell Modules For solar panels experiencing issues such as output failures, we conduct investigations into the nature of the defects and analyze the causes. We examine the condition of the panels through non-destructive testing (Phase 1) such as EL and electrical measurements, and then clarify defect structures and causative materials through destructive testing (Phase 2) to pinpoint the failure locations. * The investigation and analysis will generally require you to send the affected panels to our company. * For Phase 1 investigations, we can also accommodate on-site work upon request. Aites Co., Ltd. is also a manufacturer of EL/PL inspection equipment. Using Aites' inspection devices, defects in the panels can be clearly revealed, even if they appear visually acceptable. We also possess the technology for cross-sectional observation and analysis, allowing us to respond to customer requests accordingly. ● On-Site Investigation We conduct open-circuit voltage and impedance measurements for all strings to identify defective (cluster failure) panels. Additionally, upon request, we can perform insulation resistance measurements, BPD measurements, and I-V measurements.
