Solar Panel Testing Services
From CSZ Testing Laboratory
With the ever-increasing concern of global warming and lower energy costs, there is a growing need for alternative
energy that is both clean and affordable. Solar Energy is one alternative that uses Photovoltaic (PV) modules to
generate energy. These modules are exposed to severe environmental temperature and humidity extremes throughout
the life of the product.

CSZ Testing Laboratory provides a full range of environmental testing services to test photovoltaic modules and
panels. Our laboratory is equipped to handle all module and panel sizes for the following tests:
- Temperature Cycling
- Damp Heat
- Humidity Freeze Tests
Our test chambers are capable of simulating the following test outlined in the test specifications below.
