Vikram Solar has been recognized as Top Performer in the coveted ‘PVEL PQP Reliability Scorecard 2022’ list for the 4th consecutive year and 5 times in the last 6 years. Vikram Solar was featured in the ‘PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard 2022’ as the ‘only’ Indian module manufacturer presenting technologically advanced high-efficiency half-cut cell multi-busbar modules with 500 W capacity. This year, Vikram Solar is the only Indian company to have three cell variants module listed in the scorecard- 120/144/156 cells, fit for all solar segments- Rooftop, Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Utility scale.

Vikram Solar’s Prexos modules have been ranked Top Performer across the categories- Damp Heat, Potential-induced degradation (PID) and Light induced degradation (LID) + Light and elevated temperature-induced degradation (LETID). The test results exceeded the quality and performance benchmarks.

Tristan Erion-Lorico, VP of Sales and Marketing at PVEL said “Vikram Solar’s half-cut 500 W modules have achieved recognition as Top Performer in the PV Module Reliability Scorecard. PVEL’s rigorous testing regime offers vital knowledge about solar PV module reliability and long-term performance. Vikram Solar receiving a position in the list for the fourth consecutive year is a testament of their focus on quality and performance.”

The Product Qualification Program (PQP) assessment was done by PVEL, a leading independent test lab for the downstream solar and energy storage industry. The rankings are based on results from rigorous, comprehensive testing programs. Top Performing modules showed less than 2 percent degradation for the entirety of the test sequence.
