CGC launches PV module cleaning robot testing & certification scheme
China General Certification Center (CGC), a 3rd-party certification body, has introduced a complete testing and certification solution for PV module cleaning robots, covering: basic testing & certification, enhanced testing & certification, and power generation gain evaluation.
CGC stated that the PV cleaning robot industry currently faces challenges such as inconsistent product standards, significant performance differences, and underdeveloped safety certification systems. In this context, the new solution aims to provide high-quality manufacturers with authoritative proof and a ‘pass’ for bidding, while offering power producers and O&M providers reliable technical references for product selection.
Earlier this year, CGC released a white paper, which offers a comprehensive evaluation of the mechanical stress PV modules face during long-term outdoor operation (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
