With practical experience running its own testing facility for photovoltaic panels, Masdar City has the background and platform to work with leading global testing providers to develop a regional “best-in-class” test and certification centre that would enable cleantech product and green building material manufacturers, software developers and solar energy technology developers to establish the energy, durability and other performance characteristics of their products.
By testing at Masdar City, companies can accelerate commercialisation and demonstrate performance, especially in hot, dusty and humid climate conditions. Building façades and PV panels are two areas of particular opportunity.
