The Smartlift SL 409 HLE at TÜV Rheinland is well-suited for safe and efficient handling of solar panels during testing. It prevents even minor damages that could compromise the test results.
Reliable testing of solar panels
In the department for testing solar panels, Solar and Photovoltaic Services, TÜV Rheinland in Cologne faces the challenge of ensuring that solar panels are not damaged during the testing processes. This is necessary to determine if the solar panel meets specific requirements and thus can achieve the correct classifications for market entry. Even minor damages, such as scratches or cracks, can invalidate the test results and delay the approval process, which can be costly for both TÜV Rheinland and their clients.

Precise Handling with Smartlift SL 409 HLE
To meet this fundamental challenge, TÜV Rheinland uses a Smartlift SL 409 HLE, which allows for precise and safe handling and moving of the solar panels. This ensures that the panels remain intact throughout the entire testing procedure and meet the stringent criteria for classification and thus future sales. The use of Smartlift lifting equipment also reduces the physical strain on laboratory employees, who would otherwise be exposed to heavy lifting.
