Product warranty for modules doubled: SolarWorld sets new standards
Certified quality ensures long-term yield
SolarWorld sets a new industry quality standard and doubles the product
warranty for all solar modules to 20 years. With the warranty term, which
exceeds the market norm, SolarWorld sets new standards in the solar
industry.
"We completely trust our products. That is why we can guarantee our
customers that over 20 years our solar modules will deliver what they
promise: strong performance and low electricity generation costs," explains
Dr.-Ing. E. h. Frank Asbeck, CEO of SolarWorld AG. With its extended
product warranty, SolarWorld greatly exceeds the industry standard. "We
also want to send a signal to the industry that only those who rely on
quality can win the trust of investors," Asbeck continues. Going forward,
the extended product warranty applies to all solar modules installed after
January 1, 2017. This protects end users against any defects that may be
attributable to production faults.
High yield throughout the entire term
In addition to the extended product warranty, SolarWorld continues to offer
its customers a linear performance guarantee. With SolarWorld modules, the
so-called degradation value is exceptionally low. For its product range
Sunmodule with a robust glass-glass design, SolarWorld therefore guarantees
a performance of 86.85 percent even after 30 years.
Tests that greatly exceed industry standards
From the incoming goods inspection and production processes monitoring, to
the strict tests in the module test laboratory: ensuring product quality
comes first at SolarWorld. Reliable durability, low performance loss, no
PID, and security against hotspots are the demands placed on solar modules
to deliver exceptional yields over decades. No module leaves the SolarWorld
production without a tested resistance to salt spray, being frost and hail-
proof, and resistance to ammonia, dust and sand.
Certified quality
Additionally, SolarWorld modules are tested and certified by independent
testing institutes. As one of the first manufacturers worldwide, at its
site in Freiberg, Germany, SolarWorld is proven to produce according to IEC
TS 62941, the quality guideline for PV production. Recently, the
Association for Electrical, Electronic + Information Technologies - VDE,
also awarded SolarWorld modules the VDE Quality Tested certificate, thus
attesting to high reliability, low degradation and optimized functional
reliability. These certifications once again independently document the
SolarWorld AG promise of high quality.
