24.07.2012Canadian Solar Modules Pass PID Test
Canadian Solar Inc. was among the first providers to have passed two high voltage endurance tests. The Photovoltaic Institute (PI) Berlin tested the CS6-poly-series and the PV Evolution Labs assessed the CS5-mono-series and the CS6-poly-series. The tests measured the sensitivity of the module output parameters when exposed to high system voltages – formally known as Potential Induced Degradation (PID). With this the Canadian solar module manufacturer once again has demonstrated the high quality of their products. -
