Quality is key

At Kameleon Solar, quality is paramount for our custom solar projects. From top-notch materials and mismatch prevention to a durable build, we ensure excellence in every panel. You are assured to receive superior quality for your solar projects. Solar panels with an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment).

Maxeon - the best cells for colored BIPV

Maxeon cells set the standard for solar efficiency with a solid copper foundation for unmatched strength and durability. The ultra-pure silicon and unique light-trapping surface enhance power conversion and capture sunlight, ensuring maximum energy output. The electrical architecture mitigates shade impact and hot-spot formation, ideal for BIPV-applications. The fully black surface offers a superior, uniform canvas for any aesthetic or colored solution.

Mismatch prevention

Kameleon Solar is the industry leader when it comes to color matching, ensuring perfect harmony between PV modules and their surroundings. Beyond appearance, we also prioritize safety by verifying that all cells are exposed to the same quantity of light, eliminating fire hazards during use.

Glass/glass

Lifespan

Glass/glass solar panels offer an impressive expected lifespan of ~ 50 years, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance. Their robust construction withstands harsh conditions, providing lasting value and efficiency. Invest in quality with panels designed to endure for decades.

Quality

We are committed to delivering the highest quality by using premium materials and performing extensive in-house quality tests. By ensuring durability and reliability, we create products that are built to last, providing long-term value and preventing the need for early replacement.

IEC for custom-made modules
We aim to certify the entire range of our custom-made PV modules under IEC standards. While there may be exceptions, we offer the possibility to extend our existing certificates to cover new materials and design parameters, ensuring that even highly customized solutions meet rigorous safety and performance requirements.

Some IEC norms that apply to custom-made modules:
  • IEC 61215 | Design qualifications and type approvement
  • IEC 61730 | Module safety qualification
Building norms
Our products are thoroughly tested to comply with applicable building norms, ensuring they meet industry standards for safety and durability. We can also expand our certifications to cover new materials and designs, allowing custom solutions to fully adhere to building regulations.

Some building norms that apply to BIPV-applications include:
  • EN 14449 | Glass in building - Laminated glass and laminated safety glass
  • EN 12600 | Resistance against impact
Quality checks for colored PV
Few, if any, official norms specifically address colored PV modules. However, we recognize the unique quality risks that can arise with these products. To address this, we have developed a series of in-house tests to ensure the quality and durability of our colored modules are consistently upheld and guaranteed.

Some of our quality controls include:
  • Batch color consistency (avoids unwanted checkered facades and power mismatch)
  • Mismatch prevention software for translating multi-colored images to PV modules (prevents fire hazards from hotspots)
  • Mismatch detection in multicolored modules
  • Quality inspection below the graphic layer
  • Degradation and aging tests for coloring agents
Our quality policy
For custom-made colored PV modules, spot-checks are simply not sufficient. While spot checks may work for mass production, a 100% batch check is absolutely necessary for custom projects.

That's why we conduct the following checks on every single module:
  • High potential test
  • I-V measurement (Flash test)
  • Electroluminescence image (EL-test)
  • Color measurement


In addition to these, we have several other built-in quality checks that ensure the highest standards. You're more than welcome to visit our factory in Roosendaal to see these qaulity processes in action.
Which certificates do we have?
We hold many of the certifications mentioned and adhere to the relevant norms, but the specific certifications can vary depending on the design you choose. Our Solar Suite will display which certificates apply to your custom module.

If a particular certification doesn’t appear, please contact us, and we can explore extending our certification to include your chosen design. We are committed to ensuring that your project meets all necessary standards and safety requirements.

Safety

We prioritize safety by conducting rigorous testing and adhering to strict standards, ensuring that our PV modules are reliable, secure, and meet the highest safety requirements for your peace of mind.

Mismatch-free module design
Preventing mismatch in colored PV modules is crucial, as it directly impacts safety by reducing the risk of hotspots.

Hotspots can develop when different colors in a module lead to uneven electrical performance, creating areas of intense heat. These hotspots are a serious fire hazard, even in robust glass-glass modules.

Kameleon Solar's design translation software meticulously avoids mismatch, ensuring a uniform and safe module. This is why we offer a mismatch-free guarantee, prioritizing safety in every module we create.
Fire safety
Fire safety is a top priority for us, and we have already conducted extensive testing to ensure our products meet stringent safety standards. Additionally, we offer the flexibility to extend our fire safety testing to cover new products, designs, and applications as needed. This allows us to ensure that every custom solution we provide maintains the highest level of fire safety.

For fire safety, the following building norms and IEC norms typically apply:
  • EN 13501 | Fire test for building materials
  • IEC 61730 | Module safety qualification
Heat soaked tempered glass
Heat soaking is an additional process for tempered glass that can help reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage caused by nickel sulfide inclusions. While not always required, it can enhance the durability and safety of PV modules in certain conditions. We offer heat soaking as an optional service, and its necessity depends on the specific demands of your project. If needed, we can help you decide whether this extra step would benefit the reliability of your solar modules.
Other safety certificates
We understand that each project may have unique safety requirements. That's why we are happy to perform custom certifications and third-party tests tailored to the specific needs of your projects and applications. This ensures that your PV modules meet all necessary safety standards, no matter the complexity or demands of your installation.
