Spanish company Enertis launches the first mobile laboratory in Chile to carry out all controls on the spot.
The Spanish company Enertis launches the first mobile laboratory in Chile. It allows quality control of photovoltaic installations to be carried out in the field, avoiding the need to transport the panels. The unit is equipped with a solar simulator that can also process non-conventional panels (thin-film, heterojunction, etc.). It is capable of measuring electrical insulation, electroluminescence and thermography. It validates the panels received before their installation, when the power plants are commissioned, and compares the degradation of the panels with the guarantee provided by the manufacturers.
