DISCOVER PROVO LAB
Provo is a professional research laboratory established in Świdnik, Poland. We specialize in testing photovoltaic panels in accordance with the PN-EN 61215 standard.
At Provo, we create industry standards. Our qualified staff are people with passion and principles who constantly develop their potential and gain new knowledge in practice.
A photovoltaic installation is a complicated system made of components which quality determines its ultimate efficiency and safety.
We test the durability and quality of PV modules so that you can offer your customers a guarantee of reliability and safety of their devices and make sure they will enjoy using them in the long –term period.
PROVO OFFER
The PROVO research laboratory offers services of specialized climatic tests, mainly in terms of photovoltaics, i.e. testing in accordance with the IEC 61215 standard.
Our equipment also allows us to test other products, devices, machines or components when it is required to check the properties of materials and stability of device parameters in changing conditions of temperature and air humidity. Precise temperature and humidity control and recording system provides appropriate conditions for aging tests.
Testing in climatic chambers enables:
- Reflection of the actual working conditions / use of the tested product.
- Research of resistance to the influence of climatic conditions of devices during operation or without load, and during storage.
- Creation of climatic conditions according to given time courses or programmed cycles, e.g. simulating a multiple passage through 0°C
- Monitoring specific parameters of the device’s operation or creating appropriate operating conditions using inspection channels in the chambers, e.g. monitoring the current flow or supplying electricity to the tested
devices. - Verification of the strength of products in extreme weather conditions
