      Tests on power inverters and converters

      Ensayos de inversores y convertidores de potencia

      We carry out pre-qualification tests to ensure that the power converters and photovoltaic inverters fulfil the grid connection and product safety quality standards.

      Of testing services on power converters and solar inverters with a maximum rated power of 300 kW include:

      • Renewable energies (wind, solar and tidal).
      • Energy storage systems.
