Our renewable energy testing services

  • Mechanical and Thermal Analyses: We test the mechanical strength and thermal performance of materials to ensure that modern solar technology and wind turbine applications function efficiently. Our test methods include tensile and compressive strength tests and thermal expansion evaluation.
  • UV and Weather Resistance Tests: Materials used in solar panels and wind turbines are exposed to sunlight and varying weather conditions. Our tests assess how well these materials are resistant to UV radiation and other climate effects, extending their lifespan and maximizing efficiency.
  • Corrosion resistance tests: Given the exposure to varying climatic conditions, we test the corrosion resistance of metals and coatings used in renewable energy solutions, both onshore and offshore.
  • Solar panel efficiency tests: We perform efficiency tests to verify the efficiency of solar panels. Here, we determine how effective they are in converting sunlight into energy and identify any sources of loss.

Why testing is important in the renewable energy sector

Testing materials in the renewable energy sector is essential for:

  • Reliability: Ensuring that materials meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
  • Environmental friendliness: The use of tested and proven materials contributes to sustainability goals by extending the lifespan of energy solutions.
  • Efficiency: By reliably testing materials, we help to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of green energy solutions.
