Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISEWe have made a major contribution to quality assurance in photovoltaic power plants since 1990. The four stages of our quality circle enable us to offer seamless quality assessment from the planning through to the operation of installations.
Our yield assessments supply the basis for economic appraisals of planned PV power plants as well as precise statements on the yield that can be expected at any given site. When simulating components we draw on expert knowledge from the field as well as our experience of characterizing components in the lab. We offer comprehensive testing for entire power plants. On-site analyses with visual checks, thermal imaging and the collection of real output data provide insights into the quality of an installation and help to identify faults.
After commissioning, we determine the actual performance ratio of the power plant, compare the results with the values stated in the yield assessment and identify potential deviation from optimum operating scenarios at an early stage.
