Managing Your Risk When Buying Solar PV Modules
To qualify for the Positive Quality™ logo solar PV
manufacturers must undergo a random, ongoing series
of audits conducted by independent experts from the
Australian Solar Council.

What do we Audit?
The audit is conducted in three stages:
• Certificates audit
• Factory audit
• Photovoltaic module production verification audit

Certificates Audit
The audit sites and verifies documents and certificates
such as:
• Business License

Factory Audit

• Tax Registration Certificate
• ISO 9000 Certificate

The factory audit comprises a 100 point check that
thoroughly checks and audits the following items:

• Applicable IEC Certificates and Reports

• Quality Assurance System

We will also note if the company has any certifications
above the minimum requirement that may be
applicable.

• Incoming Materials Control
• Production Process Control
• Final Inspection and QA Testing
• Devices and Equipment Control
The audit is completed on any production lines that
are used to produce modules that are exported to the
Australian market. They are inspected while producing
Australian stock.
The audit will identify any substitution of bill of
materials, poor training, and errors being made in the
manufacturing process.

Photovoltaic Module Verification Audit
In this audit completed on solar modules are selected
at random (including from modules previously
produced and packaged for export to Australia).
This audit checks the performance and quality of
completed modules and all modules must be within
strict tolerances before being approved.

This audit includes:
• Appearance Audit
• EL picture
• IV test
• Hi-Pot Test
• Wet Leakage Current
• Packaging

What is Driving this Audit?
The Australian solar PV market is widely known in
China as an extremely price sensitive market.
There are strong commercial drivers for
manufacturers to produce the lowest priced panels
possible.
This leads to a serious temptation to substitute
materials and cut corners with modules being
produced for the Australian market.
As a customer, importer, or solar installer you cannot
afford to be installing substandard solar panels.

Your Peace of Mind – Free of Charge
By inspecting participating manufacturers on a
random ongoing basis, through an exhaustive
checklist conducted by independent professionals
you can have peace of mind that Positive Quality™
solar panels will deliver as advertised.

“Through the Positive Quality Program,
