About Us

SUPSI PVLab is the only Swiss laboratory accredited for testing PV modules according to international and national standards. Further to services, we have strong research activities with focus on precise characterisation, accelerated testing and outdoor monitoring of innovative technologies, in order to increase the quality of PV products and systems on the market.

What we Do

The activities of the SUPSI PVLab range from indoor to outdoor testing, passing throgh data analysis and on site verification. The precise characterisation of all the relevant parameters of a PV module is accomplished through instrumentation internally adapted to the highest quality standards. This is possible thanks to the research activities with international and national partners.
