Solar panel labels: an introduction

Solar panel labels usually show the solar panel's power rating, certifications and details about the manufacturer.

Solar Panel Labels

High-quality PV modules are characterized by the fact that it can provide a safe operation and high energy production under the given environmental conditions. Their quality standards are usually expressed by - industry-wide - long performance warranties and assessed by a variety of different certifications. These qualities along with a panel's output characteristics, certifications and details about the manufacturer are usually printed on the solar panel label on the backside of a PV module.

Label as a guarantor

The label serves as a guarantor that this specific module exactly conforms to what the customer ordered. Therefore, some purchasers of PV modules usually commission external quality control companies to - apart from visual inspections, flash test and certification verification - audit the genuinity of the data on the label and the label's endurance, the latter which can be verified through rub test.   Solar Module Label
