Ensuring ESG Excellence: PVO and Jinko Solar quality efforts

As your procurement partner specialized in all products related to solar energy systems we value transparency, sustainability and quality throughout our supply chain. That is why we are providing a full ESG & Traceability promise from us to you, for all your future solar projects.

Quality assurance is a key aspect in our procurement strategy and ESG efforts. This starts with a full quality check of solar panels that are purchased on project base, independently of our suppliers. The mandatory checks involve Pre-shipment inspections and continuous production monitoring. Additionally, 100% of the solar panels undergo a software-based Electroluminescence Image Analysis. By subjecting each order to these inspections, we ensure that our customers receive reliable and high-quality solar panels that meet and exceed industry standards.

Bridging Excellence: PVO and Jinko Solar’s Shared Quality Vision

PVO International’s commitment to quality is complemented by the already existing rigorous standards of our dedicated partners. Jinko Solar, leading supplier in the solar industry and our trusted partner, sets an example in the market with an established and strong process of quality assurance. Erwin Damen, Procurement manager at PVO highlights why it is so important to have quality processes from both sides in place. ‘’Our customers must spend their time and efforts on the projects to be build. They should not have to worry about the quality and ESG matters, that is our role in the supply chain. This can only work with qualified partners and notified bodies to ensure continues control on quality, production and upgrading of standards.’’

Jinko Solar’s Five pillars of quality assurance

Jinko Solar establishes the quality of their innovative solar panels by implementing five main quality aspects. As product quality is achieved from the introduction of new products, raw material control and manufacturing process control, high quality standards are assured in all stages of the production process. We asked Jinko Solar to highlight their 5 main quality aspects for this blog.

1. Design Quality Engineer (DQE) Management: Utilizing FMEA tools, Jinko Solar evaluates potential risks to ensure products are ready for mass production. Their ECCB platform manages changes in materials and processes, while random reliability tests on components ensure adherence to standards.
2. Supplier Quality Management: Through continuous improvement and monitoring, Jinko Solar ensures suppliers meet high-quality control capabilities.
3. Manufacturing Quality Management: Employees conduct self-inspections, and the use of SPC and MES/JKS-ICT systems ensures that manufacturing processes remain stable and products meet design requirements.
4. Customer Quality Assurance: A dedicated team quickly addresses customer complaints, establishing a collaborative management loop from customer to factory.
5. System Management: Jinko Solar’s quality control system, compliant with ISO9001 and IEC 62941 standards, covers the entire R&D, procurement, and manufacturing cycle, ensuring consistent product quality.

In addition to these measures, Jinko Solar is committed to sustainable development and carbon management. They have achieved recognition for their efforts in reducing carbon emissions, including certificates in PV module LCA, Italian EPD, and ISO50001:2018, among others. This dedication to green practices ensures that their manufacturing process not only produces high-quality solar panels but also contributes to a more sustainable environment.
