Photovoltaic test, also known as solar photovoltaic test, is a laboratory and/or outdoor test conducted by the photovoltaic industry in accordance with the specified methods and procedures to verify whether the characteristics or performance of products, raw materials, processes and power stations meet the industry standards. Photovoltaic testing is classified according to the scope of the supply chain, including raw material testing, live testing, component/module testing, system testing, power station and grid connection testing, process equipment testing, etc.
