Chart: Kiwa PVEL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The PQP is a suite of reliability and performance tests that evaluates solar modules under different environmental and mechanical conditions. This includes effects of extreme temperatures and high humidity, mechanical stress, hail and ultraviolet light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s scorecard named 50 manufacturers as \u201cTop Performers\u201d in one or more tests, while nine manufacturers have been named Top Performers with at least one model type listed in each of the seven categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 21 model types have achieved Top Performer status in all seven reliability categories \u2013 which includes thermal cycling, damp heat and potential-induced degradation (PID) among others \u2013 with only three of these also being Top Performer in PAN performance. PAN files represent the production of the PV module, with Kiwa PVEL&#8217;s PAN testing analysing the module&#8217;s energy yield performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe rapid pace of innovation in the PV module landscape is encouraging, and it\u2019s great to see more products achieving Top Performer status,\u201d said Erion-Lorico. \u201cHowever, we continue to caution buyers not to assume all modules are created equal. Our testing continues to uncover significant variability in performance and long-term reliability. The Scorecard remains an essential tool for navigating these differences, helping procurement teams make smart, risk-conscious decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other takeaways from this year\u2019s Scorecard are that PID and PAN results have improved. However, the module breakage rate for the mechanical stress sequence (MSS) and the hail stress sequence (HSS) has increased. HSS results have shown that 3.2mm glass-backsheet modules and hail-hardened designs are significantly less susceptible to glass breakage than 2.0mm glass-glass modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The number of hail-hardened modules that we&#8217;ve tested is not as high. But so far, the indications show that hail-hardened modules have a lower breakage rate for both 2.0mm glass-glass and 3.2mm glass-backsheet. That shows a trend in the right direction,&#8221; said Erion-Lorico to PV Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>PV Tech Premium<\/em> spoke with Tristan Erion-Lorico about the latest results of this year&#8217;s Module Reliability Scorecard and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pv-tech.org\/module-quality-is-suffering-as-pv-producers-cut-costs\/\">how cost cuts could have been one of the issues<\/a> for the increase in test failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tristan Erion-Lorico will be a speaker at this year\u2019s fourth edition of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pvtechconferences.com\/pv-moduletech-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PV ModuleTech US<\/a>&nbsp;in Napa, California, on 17-18 June 2025.&nbsp;The conference will address the module landscape and map out the PV module supply channels to the US in the coming years.
