They announced that its multicrystalline and monocrystalline PV modules (solar panels)
successfully passed Potential Induced Degradation (PID) tests conducted by TÜV SÜD,
one of the world’s leading providers of testing and certification services.

JA Solar’s modules were tested under extreme conditions, including temperatures 
of 85 degrees Celsius, 85% relative humidity, and 1,000 volts of system bias voltage,
for a duration of 96 hours. Test results showed less than 1% power degradation in
the modules.

This means that these panels will stand the test of time.
