Waaree Energies Ltd has secured NABL accreditation for the PV Module Test Lab (PMTL) at its module manufacturing facility in Chikhli, Gujarat. This marks Waaree’s second NABL accreditation, following the first achieved for its Thumb manufacturing facility.
NABL [National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories] is a globally recognised body for laboratory accreditation. It awarded this recognition under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards, affirming the lab’s competence in delivering precise and reliable results across a wide array of testing parameters.
“The PMTL now performs over 48 tests, including thermal cycling, damp heat, mechanical load, and potential-induced degradation, ensuring that PV modules meet stringent performance, safety, and durability requirements. By adhering to internationally accepted testing protocols, Waaree demonstrates its ability to produce modules that withstand diverse environmental conditions while maintaining efficiency and reliability,” stated Waaree Energies.
The PMTL is equipped to conduct design and safety qualifications for PV modules; accelerated testing to ensure reliability, durability, and optimal performance under diverse field conditions; and specialized testing across disciplines, including biological, chemical, electrical, mechanical, radiological, photometry, IT systems, electro-technical, thermal, and medical equipment.
Amit Paithankar, CEO of Waaree Energies Ltd, said, “With advanced testing capabilities now extended to our Chikhli facility, we can certify even larger volumes of solar modules domestically, reducing reliance on foreign labs and saving valuable resources.”
Headquartered in Mumbai, Waaree Energies has an installed capacity of 13.3 GW for solar PV modules (including 1.3 GW of Indosolar). With presence across India and 25+ countries worldwide, it offers solar solutions including panel manufacturing, EPC services, project development, and rooftop systems.
