Discover the future of renewable energies with VDE Renewables at Intersolar Europe 2024

(Frankfurt a. M., 13.06.2024) Solar energy remains in vogue and the expansion of solar technology is continuing in Germany. In the first quarter of 2024, 200,000 new photovoltaic systems were installed, with a combined net output of 3.34 gigawatts - more than was installed in the same period a year ago. This is according to the latest figures from the Federal Network Agency's market master data register. In this context, the quality assurance and certification of solar projects is becoming increasingly important in order to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the systems.

VDE Renewables is a leading provider of quality assurance, laboratory testing and premium certification services for the renewable energy sector. The goal: to help implement clean energy projects that are safe, bankable, insurable and ready for investment. This is achieved through independent certification, engineering services and consulting. Visitors to Intersolar Europe 2024 in Munich from June 19 to 21 will have the opportunity to find out more about the services offered by VDE Renewables.

Identifying and eliminating weak points

The offering is primarily aimed at optimizing renewable energy projects and increasing their efficiency. Risk mitigation strategies help to identify and eliminate weaknesses in projects in order to minimize component failures, performance problems and safety risks. Services offered include due diligence, energy storage system audits, grid compliance and certification of power generation units.

Quality of PV modules

One focus of VDE Renewables' work is the quality assurance of PV modules from the development phase through to mass production. Various factors are crucial for sustainable product quality: strict module design criteria allow the quality of modules to be better validated. Tests during production guarantee that critical faults are detected at an early stage, which could otherwise impair the safety and performance of the modules. In addition, VDE Renewables experts monitor module quality on a quarterly basis to ensure that the manufacturing process runs consistently and smoothly. Modern test equipment is used in VDE Renewables' accredited test laboratories to obtain precise and reliable measurement data. Comprehensive certification services also ensure compliance with international standards such as IEC and ensure plant safety and grid connection, which can give projects an additional competitive advantage.
