Optimize the profitability of PV investments by applying quality control procedures with the least uncertainty

QPV is a photovoltaic engineering and consultancy firm specialized in providing high added value services to maximize the profitability of PV investments.

We manage PV projects through their entire lifecycle, guaranteeing the equipment’s quality, optimizing their production capacity and reducing their performance uncertainty, which allows minimizing risks and improving financing conditions.

WHY US?

  • Our technical teams are formed by PV PhD engineers with more than 10 years of experience in the field.
  • Wide expertise as independent consultants in technical due-diligences.
  • Engineering support and quality control procedures applied in more than 85 installations (>850 MW) in several countries of Europe, America, Asia and Africa.
  • As a spin-off of the Solar Energy Institute, QPV incorporates 25 years of know how in quality assurance procedures and inthe resolution of technical issues in the field.

We assess PV partners through
the entire project lifecycle

Advanced Quality Assurance Procedure: QPV’s methodology reduces performance uncertainty by more than 50%, what allows minimizing risk investment and improving financing conditions.

  1. YIELD ASSESSMENT
    Solar resource analysis. Calculation of the expected energy production and economic revenue along the project’s lifetime.
  2. PROJECT DESIGN AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
    Technical due diligence and assessment from greenfield to ready-to-built.
  3. REFERENCE MODULES CALIBRATION
    Calibration of reference modules as irradiance and temperature sensors.
  4. EQUIPMENT QUALITY CONTROL
    In-field inspection and testing of PV modules and inverters at their delivey.
  5. COMMISSIONING TESTS
    Assessment of the PV installation’s performance and the fulfilment of the contractual specifications.
  6. PVET
    Real time performance analysis service, oriented to the assets management’s optimization. It includes failure detection & diagnosis, predictive maintenance and energy forecasting with low uncertainty.
  7. TECHNICAL AUDITS
    Assessment of the technical status of the installation at any time: warranty claims, performance anomalies, buying and selling.

PARTNERS & ALLIANCES

The power of synergy

We have strived to foster strong relationships with our customers and partners, and we are proud to be part of the solution.

IES – UPM

Solar Energy Institute (IES), whose initial work dates back to the mid-1970s, was one of the first centers in the world entirely dedicated to photovoltaic solar energy. For more than 25 years of field work, it has provided quality control and innovative solutions for industrial problems. As a result, QPV was born as a spin-off of this institute inheriting much of this knowledge.

INNOENERGY

InnoEnergy is a business accelerator focused on building a sustainable and lasting operational framework between the three actors of the knowledge triangle in the energy sector: industry, research and higher education. QPV has been a member of their program since 2017 and continues to collaborate closely with them.
