TV InterCert to certify Moser Baerङs solar projects

NEW DELHI: Moser Baer Solar Ltd (MBSL) has said that its solar modules are now certified by TÜV InterCert for being corrosion resistant.

"This certifies not only enhanced overall reliability of MBSL’s PV modules but also their suitability for a 25 year deployment in the coastal regions like Gujarat or Tamil Nadu and in areas like Kutch with a high level of salt content in air, rain or soil for the most part of the year," the company said in a statement.

According to various reports, Gujarat itself is looking at commissioning more than capacity 500 MW of solar installations this year and thereby creating a demand for PV modules that are resistant to corrosion when exposed to salt content in the air, it said.

"This certification significantly addresses the needs of solar developers in India and will improve the confidence of investors in the solar PV projects," the company said.

It said that the "salt mist" corrosion resistant certification complements company’s 25 years’ warranty on its PV modules are already bankable with more than 20 banks in Europe.

Globally, banks and financial institutions prefer PV projects that use highly reliable PV modules and since the ‘salt mist’ corrosion resistant panels improve the viability of solar projects even in demanding climatic conditions, it will have a positive impact on the bankability of solar projects commissioned using the same, the statement said. power
