Three-Pronged Approach
Infrastructure & Expertise Creation
Product Development & Technology Evaluation
Basic Research Projects
Targeted Areas of Expertise
Solar PV
Testing of Modules & Components of PV Systems – Mechanical, Electrical, Environment & Other Related Tests
Energy yield assessments – Study of local irradiation data & system details and long term yield forecasts compilation using simulations
Site Condition Evaluation – Actual energy yield at the site including shadowing/seasoning and type of plant (off or on grid, pump systems etc)
Technology advisory services – Based on global technology evaluation and relevant standards/regulations
Plant monitoring, output energy yields checks and evaluation – Data logging and analysis capabilities
Damage & fault assessment – Determination and analysis of damages & malfunctions of the systems including required repairs
Benefits of Comprehensive Testing Facilities
Setting up of complete laboratory facility
Can be utilized for all R&D purposes as well as for certification purpose
Sole Indian party status and second Asian certification country after Japan
If utilized for certification, can earn extra revenue
All collaborative basic research efforts shall be helped by leveraging the lab facility successfully and the pace of development will be enhanced by aggressive institution/industrial collaborations
