The solar PV industry continues to attract a wide range of new companies and technologies. Each of these new entrants faces the daunting requirement to become “bankable”, in other words acceptable to financial institutions. DNV has developed a structured process by which we provide evidence that the product will function within the specified limits with an acceptable degree of confidence. DNV has worked with PV modules, concentrating PV systems, trackers, inverters and module-level electronics, providing technology reviews that contribute to the overall “bankability” of a product.
