Kiwa PVEL Senior Management Visit

A Pragmatic Exchange Focused on Technology and Long-Term Collaboration

As the global PV industry continues to move toward greater standardization and reliability, testing and certification play an increasingly important role in connecting technology with the market. Recently, the senior management team of Kiwa PVEL, including Mr. Kelvin Gibson (Managing Director) and Mr. Jean-Nicolas Jaubert (Director, China Operations), visited Zealwe Technology for in-depth discussions on PV testing equipment and laboratory development.

During the meeting, Zealwe introduced its overall capabilities in PV reliability testing equipment, along with more than a decade of experience delivering large-scale laboratory turnkey projects in both domestic and international markets. The exchange focused on Zealwe’s integrated approach, covering solution design, equipment manufacturing, and long-term operational support.

Based on real operating cases, Zealwe also shared insights into typical failure types observed during long-term equipment operation, their occurrence patterns, and corresponding preventive design strategies. This topic prompted in-depth discussion and became one of the areas of strongest mutual understanding.

The Kiwa PVEL team noted that Zealwe’s technical methodologies, built on long-term operational data and service experience, as well as its continuous review and optimization mechanisms, provide direct and practical reference value for international laboratory construction.

Following the discussion, the Kiwa PVEL delegation visited Zealwe’s manufacturing, R&D, and warehouse facilities, and further exchanged views on manufacturing capability, delivery stability, and evolving testing demand trends in overseas markets.

With the continued development of the global new energy market, Kiwa PVEL and Zealwe see broad potential for cooperation in both domestic and international markets. Zealwe will take this exchange as a new starting point and, with technology as its core and technical service experience as its foundation, steadily advance deeper collaboration with its partners.
