This image shows a solar panel placed inside a salt mist chamber at Ace Test Labs. The setup represents IS/IEC 61701 testing, which examines how a PV module withstands salt-laden, corrosive air over a set exposure period. Manufacturers and project developers in India, especially those supplying coastal locations, use this evaluation to understand how modules cope with corrosion. The laboratory report from this stage can support wider compliance work, though testing alone is not certification.
