Waaree Energies Limited, India’s largest solar PV module manufacturer, has achieved a significant milestone by securing NABL accreditation for its state-of-the-art PV Module Test Lab (PMTL) at the Chikhli facility in Gujarat. This is Waaree's second NABL accreditation, following a similar recognition for its Tumb manufacturing facility. The accreditation underscores Waaree's commitment to delivering solar solutions that adhere to the highest international quality and reliability standards.
The National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) awarded this recognition under the globally accepted ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards. This accreditation signifies the lab’s competence in performing precise, reliable, and comprehensive testing across various parameters. With over 48 tests, including thermal cycling, damp heat, mechanical load, and potential-induced degradation, the PMTL ensures that Waaree’s PV modules meet stringent durability, performance, and safety standards.
Advanced Testing Capabilities
The Chikhli facility’s PMTL is equipped to conduct diverse tests to ensure solar modules can withstand various environmental challenges. These include:
- Design and safety qualifications for PV modules.
- Accelerated testing to assess module reliability and performance under different conditions.
- Specialized tests across domains such as biological, chemical, electrical, mechanical, radiological, and more.
This capability enables Waaree to reduce reliance on foreign labs, certify larger volumes of solar modules domestically, and enhance operational efficiency.
Industry Impact
Dr. Amit Paithankar, CEO of Waaree Energies, emphasized the importance of this achievement for India’s solar energy landscape. He stated, “The second NABL accreditation for our Chikhli facility is a testament to Waaree’s relentless pursuit of excellence and sustainability. With advanced testing capabilities, we aim to support India’s vision of becoming self-reliant in the solar supply chain while meeting growing global demand.”
This milestone is pivotal for Waaree’s ability to elevate production standards, improve export potential, and strengthen India’s position as a global hub for solar manufacturing.
Alignment with National Goals
Waaree’s accomplishment aligns with India’s commitment to sustainability and renewable energy. By enhancing domestic solar module testing and production capabilities, the company contributes to the country’s transition to a clean energy future. This achievement also supports India’s export-oriented growth in renewable energy, reducing dependency on international testing facilities and saving valuable resources.
