Our Quality Approach

• Pre- approve bill of materials (BOM)
• Ensure product quality actually meets industry standards
• Go beyond basic industry standards to fill in the gaps
• Complete access to all parts of production and transport stations in factory
• Red-flag approach to signal & deal with systematic risk
• Ability to reject product in Asia and in UK/Europe

In-line Production Inspection

In-line inspection covers:

• Review of IQC versus standard, customer specifications
• Implementation IPQC, OQC and SOP’s e.g.
  - lamination/ curing conditions &time
  - internal transportation etc..
• Workers skills and attitude
• Observing failure rates at key workstations
• Rejection of substandard product & rework loop
• 100% traceability through MES
• STC power measurement, plus tolerance
• Calibration of test devices & equipment maintenance
• Continuous improvement cycle

1. Cells soldering strength measurement
2. EL image enlarged checking
3. EVA Peel strength & cross- linkage rate test
4. Wet leakage current test
5. In-line product & defect tracking

Final Product Inspection

• Random sampling of final product -out of the box-
• Assuring products meet specs: 
  -materials, certification, plus tolerance,
  -safety, traceability, customer specs.
  tested according to relevant standards;
• Alerting Buyer to product deviations and dealing with quality issues:
  -replacing sub-standard product prior to shipment
  -preventing bad or wrong shipments
• Document check, loading inspection

• Verify compliance of Bill of Material (BOM) with IEC certification
• Inspection & Testing to verify industry standards are met
• Red-flag approach to signal systematic issues
• Escalation of sampling to confirm & deal with quality issues.
• Batch acceptance or rejection based on:
  - agreed quality criteria
  - agreed accept/ reject criterion ( AQL rate, inspection level )
• Measuring product quality for sampled modules by:
  - confirming customer requirements;
  - visual inspection, aspect measurement;
  - safety & electrical performance;
  - power measurement by re- flashing at STC;
  - re-do Electroluminescence imaging; comparison with original factory EL images;
  - factory flash-test data review;
