Salt mist can be a disruptive presence for solar panels located in coastal areas, as it can cloud up glass and decay components such as frames and junction boxes. In the TUV Nord test, JA Solar’s panels showcased a power loss of less than 2%.

The IEC 61701 Salt Mist Corrosion Test, Severity Level 6 stands as the most thorough test of its kind, featuring eight cycles of tests over a 56-day span. The Double Standard Class 6 test is a strenuous endeavor, as it extends the duration of the testing to 112 days.

Jian Xie, president of JA Solar, said: “The reliability, power output and lifespan of solar PV modules are sometimes challenged by the severe weather conditions in coastal areas.  Achieving certification in this test again demonstrates the durability and high quality of JA Solar products.  We take pride in our record of success in meeting the needs of our customers through continuous product innovation.”
