Standardization Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate is a Government of India enterprise that provides quality assurance services for both public and private companies. These services include testing, calibration, IT & e-governance, training, and certification. I met their representatives at the recently concluded HYREX 2015 expo, Hyderabad.
STQC Laboratories have established test facilities for performance evaluation of Solar Panels and PV cells. Products tested include Solar PV Lanterns, lighting systems, batteries, etc. It seems this Solar PV test facility is available at their Kolkata, Bangalore and some more laboratories. Even their Hyderabad center is expected to get it in the near future. Learn more about Solar PV testing here.
