More praise for SOLARWATT as experts award top rating for PV panels

News

SOLARWATT, German pioneer of high-performance dual-glass solar PV energy production and storage systems, has been praised by leading European experts for the quality of its solar PV modules as the company develops its UK partnership network.

Stiftung Warentest, a respected independent consumer research organisation, awarded SOLARWATT's PV panels the highest grade in an initiative by the European Commission aimed at helping consumers choose suitable renewable-energy technologies. The recognition follows an earlier consumer accolade and comes as SOLARWATT starts bringing its advanced renewable-energy generation and management systems to homes in Britain.

Independent photovoltaic experts from European consumer organisations assessed the production of solar power-generation modules made by a number of international manufacturers. The study focused on the assembly and lamination of both individual cells and entire modules. Also analysed were pre-manufacturing control procedures and post-production quality inspection processes. In all categories, SOLARWATT received the highest possible rating of five stars.

Established in 1964, Stiftung Warentest has a considerable influence on consumer buying behaviours due to the German organisation's reputation for independent, reliable research. An earlier study published in September-October 2015 by Which?, the independent UK consumer group, awarded SOLARWATT the maximum five stars in each of four production categories and an overall five stars for manufacturing quality.

Pol Spronck, SOLARWATT's International Sales Manager, said: "We are very pleased to receive the Stiftung Warentest award as it confirms once again the high quality of our solar modules, with nothing left to chance during production.

"The quality and innovation in our components and production processes mean we can provide 30-year product and performance guarantees for our pioneering glass-glass modules. The latest generation of modules produced at our advanced production facility in Dresden feature two thin glass plates of 2mm each designed to be very light yet extremely durable and resistant to both environmental factors and corrosive substances such as ammonia and salt while being highly transparent for the highest possible guaranteed energy production. Our virtually unbreakable glass-glass modules offer the market's best price-performance ratio.

"This is further expert evidence of our product quality following the Which? tests. While the results of the tests were no surprise to us, they provide further assurance for our customers. SOLARWATT products are tested repeatedly at levels exceeding international standards."

Through CLEAR "“ enabling Consumers to Learn about, Engage with and Adopt Renewable energy technologies "“ the EU aims to help customers make the right buying decisions when considering a domestic renewable and low-carbon energy technologies. Users can exchange information and experiences on products and solutions in an online community. Launched in March 2014, the scheme is designed to help achieve European climate change targets.
