Photovoltaic (PV) Plant Services Available Globally From UL

Bangalore, May 2014 – UL (Underwriters Laboratories), a global safety science leader, announces a suite of services available globally to assist stakeholders in managing the risks associated with building and operating PV plants. The services build on UL’s research and technical knowledge within the power generation industry.

PV plant developers, owners and operators need to mitigate risks and reduce costs. UL’s PV plant services were developed to provide assistance to investors, developers and operators to make better and informed decisions as they assess the risks and uncertainties associated with designing and commissioning a PV plant. From the design stage to the commercial operation date (COD) and throughout the in-service lifetime of a PV plant, factors such as performance, energy yields and verification are critical.

“This is a natural extension of our services – UL has been a trusted independent third-party who has worked with stakeholders of the PV value chain for years,” said Suresh Sugavanam, UL’s Managing Director for India. “UL is now offering a one stop solution to all parties of a PV power plant – no matter where in the world the plant or customer is.”

 UL’s suite of services can be specifically tailored to meet the needs of the owner, operator or other stakeholder. Services range from:

  • Design review
  • Yield assessment and due diligence
  • Bankability
  • Plant performance
  • Reliability/durability
  • Plant inspections
  • Commissioning
  • Plant verification
  • Hardware certification and performance

“Although UL has typically been thought to be involved further upstream in the PV value chain, we have been involved end to end through our installer trainer, field evaluation services, certification services and working with AHJs.We offer a total solution for PV power plants,” Sugavanam stated.
