National Quality Infrastructure System and Its Application Progress in Photovoltaic Industry

Abstract

With the rapid development of economic construction, National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) has received increasing attention from countries and international organizations. NQI is a comprehensive system and capacity building, which plays a key role in promoting healthy and sustainable economic and social development. However, the photovoltaic industry has not yet established an NQI system and lacks an overall quality supervision mechanism. This will hinder the comprehensive development of the photovoltaic industry in terms of standards, metrology, conformity assessment, etc. In this paper, first, the concept and overall framework NQI is sorted out; the three most important elements of NQI are pointed out. Then, on the basis of fully explaining the NQI, an NQI system for the photovoltaic industry is established for the first time, and the construction of the NQI elements of the photovoltaic industry internationally is sorted out in detail. Finally, the possible solutions to the problems existing in the overall construction of the NQI system are proposed. Points for improvement are listed for each element of the NQI system for the photovoltaic industry.
