Mobile Photovoltaic (PV) Field Testing

Our Mobile PV Testcenter provides solution for photovoltaic (PV) module testing in the field

Underperforming PV modules can bring down the energy output of a whole solar installation, but shipping modules out for testing can risk further damage and be time-consuming. As part of our full suite of Renewable Energy Field Services, Intertek offers a comprehensive on-site testing solution with our Mobile PV Testcenter. No shipping necessary—the lab comes to you.

Our mobile testing laboratory’s expertly developed capabilities offer solar system site owners and operators the ability to identify, evaluate, and replace under-performing modules on site, at the installation.
