Q CELLS also secured Top Performer status in the DML (Dynamic Mechanical Loading) test for the Q.PEAK DUO L-G5.2. PVEL had highlighted a wider range of degradation values across the 2019 sample set compared to the 2018 Scorecard, due primarily to the DML tests extending to 30 humidity freeze cycles, compared to the previous 10 cycles in prior annual tests.
