Overview
Quality as an aspect is always cherished but usually sacrificed due to budgetary constraints, tight timelines etc. which leads to underperformance of the system as a whole. Quality Assurance in Solar PV projects plays a pivotal role in its performance over the project life-cycle, therefore identifying the underlying reasons and causes that lead to quality lapses is important.
Consequently, there is a need to thoroughly evaluate system quality, although there are established standards and codes which need to be adhered to at the component level, there are many other aspects such as procedures, installation methods during commissioning that needs to be ensured of quality assurance.
