During the second day of the SNEC PV Expo in Shanghai, Huasun Energy and TÜV Rheinland signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop a comprehensive performance and value assessment solution for vertical photovoltaic (PV) modules. The agreement was formalized by Patrick Li, Vice President of Huasun Energy, and Rick Zhang, Deputy General Manager of Solar and Commercial Product Services, TÜV Rheinland Greater China.
This collaboration introduces the industry’s first lifecycle-based evaluation framework for PV modules designed for solar vertical installations. It marks a transition from traditional laboratory testing to a scenario-driven, economically grounded, and full-spectrum assessment approach—supporting more robust and sustainable growth across the solar sector.
Vertical PV systems are emerging as a promising solution due to their efficient land use, high bifacial generation potential, and adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. However, widespread adoption has been limited by the absence of unified performance and value assessment standards.
To address this challenge, Huasun and TÜV Rheinland have developed a standardized evaluation model specifically designed for vertical PV applications. By combining TÜV Rheinland’s global expertise in testing and certification with Huasun’s technological leadership in heterojunction (HJT) solar technology, the partnership aims to ensure reliable, scalable deployment of vertical PV systems. The newly launched solution encompasses key assessment areas including power generation performance, reliability testing, and economic return analysis—spanning the full lifecycle from laboratory validation to field deployment.
This initiative marks a key development in the ongoing collaboration between Huasun and TÜV Rheinland and contributes to advancing the adoption of vertical PV technologies. Recognizing the need for standardized evaluation frameworks, both parties will continue working together to refine performance and value assessment methodologies, supporting the solar industry’s progression toward more efficient, data-driven, and sustainable practices.
