Solar Inverter Quality Inspections

Our specialised quality engineers will monitor production, and perform conformity checks, and validations throughout the inverter production cycle. This allows us to detect and address inverter quality issues at an early stage. Our deliverables include prompt communication of any abnormalities identified during manufacturing, and on-site quality issue-solving prior to shipment.

On-site Solar Inverter Quality Inspection

Service includes:

• Pre-Production Factory Audit
• On-Site Inverter Production Monitoring and Raw Material Verification:

      1. Bill of Materials (BOM) verification

      2. Standards compliance:

          - International standards and directives

          - National grid standards & codes

          - System standards

      3. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

          Perform over a dozen tests, including:

          - Inverter body and structure test    - Dielectric strength                           

          - Grounding resistance test              - Normal input and output

          - Soft start-up                                      - Automatic startup/ shutdown

          - Communication test                        - Maximum efficiency test

          - Grid-tied THDi                                   - DC input overvoltage test

          - Anti-islanding test                            - Grid-tied recovering

          - Continuous aging test                     - Restoring factory defaults

          - AC output over-frequency/ under-frequency test

          - AC output overvoltage/under-voltage

• Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI), Inverter Testing, and Final Report
• Packing and Loading Supervision: quality assured inverters are shipped

Our inspection services ensure that your solar inverter meet and exceed the industry's most stringent standards:

• EN 50524 (Data Sheet and Name Plate for Photovoltaic Inverters)
• EN 50530 (Overall Efficiency of Photovoltaic Inverters)
• UL 1741 (Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use with Distributed Energy Resources)
• IEC 61683 (Power conditioners – Procedure for measuring efficiency)
• IEC 62109-1 (Safety of Power Converters for Use in Photovoltaic Power Systems – Part 1: General Requirements)
• IEC 62109-2 (Safety of Power Converters for Use in Photovoltaic Power Systems – Part 2: Particular Requirements for Inverters)

Sinovoltaics uses ISO 2859-2:1999 as the sampling standard

ISO sampling is applied to make sure that your shipment adheres to our strict quality standards. The right sampling quantity is important; with a statically representative sample rate, you can rest assured that our inspection findings are conclusive.
