PV Evolution Labs (PVEL) has come one step closer towards completing a testing laboratory in San Francisco by closing funding for the solar panel reliability and performance lab. The company touts the laboratory as an independent, high-throughput testing facility using the company’s environmental, mechanical and electrical stress and characterization systems.

“By focusing solely on a single product form factor, PVEL has designed the most repeatable and efficient systems”, says Rajeev Singh (pictured), PVEL co-Founder and chief technology officer. “With a combination of indoor and outdoor facilities, our customers benefit from our unique comprehensive PV module performance evaluation services. This includes long-term reliability demonstration, mechanical and electrical characterization, and precision energy yield evaluation in our grid-connected solar power plant.”
