  • California-designed and also Vietnam-made Aptos Solar Technology modules have efficiently finished sped up ecological examinations performed by Renewable Energy Testing Center (RETC). The information revealed from testing confirms the reliability of Aptos Solar Technology's DNA modules for extreme weather conditions over an extensive time period.

"A premium PV module not just shows high performance at basic test problems however likewise performs well in real-world problems over its intended life span. Aptos has actually shown a continued commitment to module quality as well as performance by diligently testing their items as well as ensuring their bill of materials are verified to be sturdy," stated Cherif Kedir, President & CEO of RETC.

The DNA line of product exceeds base standards for solar modules by three-times the quantity advised by the International Electromechanical Commission (IEC). This indicates that the variety of hours or cycles required by the IEC in each test group was tripled as well as the DNA collection had the ability to execute below the destruction base line established by the IEC.

"As a U.S.-based firm, we take fantastic satisfaction in providing our customers with high quality items constructed hard sufficient to do incredibly in severe climate condition. These outcomes are a testament to the American technology and design that our team brings to the market," claimed Frank Pham, CEO & Co-founder of Aptos Solar Technology.

Aptos Solar Technology is a recipient of the "Golden Standard" for Dynamic Mechanical Load testing. This examination identifies the performance as well as electrical honesty of a module by subjecting it to a collection of ecological cardiovascular test. Dynamic Mechanical Load screening helps examine if parts within the module (including solar cells, adjoin ribbons, and/or electrical bonds) are prone to breakage, or if edge seals are most likely to fail due to mechanical stress and anxiety come across throughout installation and operation. The DNA series is now accredited for wind quicken to 210 miles per hour and also snow loads up to 4 ft.
