RETC's PVMI is an annual report that recognizes PV module manufacturing achievements, evaluates module reliability, performance and quality. The report also provides data on the top-performing modules. The 2021 Top Performers of the Year is awarded to manufacturers with products recognized for high achievement in manufacturing across three essential disciplines - reliability, performance and quality.
In addition to being awarded the "Overall High Achievement in Manufacturing", Trina Solar scored individual high achievements in the following categories:
RELIABILITY
High Reliability in Damp Heat Test. This category recognizes manufacturers whose modules degraded less than 2% after being subjected to 2,000-hour damp heat exposure.
High Reliability in DML Sequence. This category recognizes manufacturers whose modules degraded less than 1% after being subjected to dynamic mechanical loading followed by 50 thermal cycles and 30 humidity-freeze cycles.
PERFORMANCE
High Performance in PAN File Characterization. This category recognizes manufacturers with PV modules that produced a performance ratio greater than 85%, as calculated in PVsyst using RETC's independently validated third-party PAN files.
High Performance in LID Resistance. This category recognizes manufacturers that achieve a Top 10 ranking, among all modules tested, based on LID performance ratio.
High Performance in LeTID Resistance. This category recognizes manufacturers with modules that achieve less than 1% power loss after 486 hours of LeTID test exposure.
QUALITY
High Quality in Thresher Tests. This category recognizes manufacturers that tested products to a wide range of beyond qualification test sequences for demonstrating a commitment to quality.
This recognition from a leading third-party testing organization demonstrates
