SgurrEnergy's module inspections are an independent, evidence-based quality review of PV modules before shipment and during factory acceptance, covering the bill of materials, certificates, test records and manufacturing QA/QC, and witnessing visual, electroluminescence and flash testing. They give lenders, owners and EPC contractors confidence that delivered modules match what was specified and warranted.
Why This Service Matters
Module inspections matter because PV modules are bought in enormous quantities on the strength of factory data, yet handling, micro-cracking and quality variation can quietly erode real-world yield long before it shows in production. Independent inspection and testing, from factory through delivery to installation, verifies that the modules on site actually match what was specified and warranted.
When This Service Is Needed
Before PV module shipment or dispatch
During factory acceptance and pre-shipment inspection
When module quality, EL defects, packaging or documentation need independent review
For lender, owner or EPC quality assurance programmes
