Sunpreme announced that its advanced GX300 panels have earned IEC 61701 salt mist corrosion test certification.
Additionally, its PV modules successfully passed the Potential Induced Degradation Test (PID) under severe conditions of high voltage, high temperature, and high humidity.
The IEC 61701 accreditation and PID certification apply to Sunpreme’s GX series modules.
The certification confirms that the company’s SmartSilicon technology can be used in a variety of tough operating conditions, including coastal and marine environments, the company said.
GX300 modules have a lower thermal coefficient, which allow them to produce more energy per watt, compared to conventional solar panels.
“We are pleased to have passed these rigid guidelines once again on GX240 and GX300 as required by IEC’s and UL’s testing standards,” said Surinder S. Bedi, executive vice president, Global Quality, System Products and Market Development for Sunpreme.
“The GX300 is a robust and reliable product that builds upon our SmartSilicon technology to reach even higher efficiencies. We will continue to design leading-edge products that delight our customers,” said Frank Pham, Sunpreme’s VP of Engineering.
Sunpreme products are tested and certified to UL 1703, IEC 61646, IEC 61730-01, IEC 61730-02, and are aesthetically great looking products.
The issuance of TUV certificates confirms that Sunpreme’s patented SmartSilicon panel design is robust and reliable, and is designed to fit the needs of solar developers and commercial customers around the world.
Sunpreme continues to focus on testing the reliability and safety performance of its product technology, and more recently passed rigorous extended Damp Heat testing (DH2000) and extended Thermal Cycling (TC600) testing.
