PROGRAMME QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS
To maintain Product Quality Testing of SHS components: Establishment of Renewable Energy Test
Station (RETS) and development and Nepal PV Quality Assurance (NEPQA),
Field Testing and monitoring of installed SHS in the field.
To maintain Service Quality Subsidy Policy and Delivery Mechanism of SHS.
Procedure for Qualifying Solar PV Companies.
Criteria and Mechanism for company grading, Penalty, Exist and Release of 10% Retained SHS subsidy.
Support to develop Efficient and Effective service provider Support to the private sector and other relevant organizations in training and
other capacity building activities. Development of Training Manuals for Solar Electric Technician Level I and II
and support to conduct Level I and II training program. Skill test standards and testing Laboratories for Level I and II at council for
technical educational and Vocational training (CTEVT). 7
POSITIVE EFFECT OF QA INTERVENTIONS Establishment of RETS and Development of NEPQA is one
remarkable achievement of solar programme. It has provided a good example of how to increase the quality of solar home systems components while including local manufactures and companies. In addition, Users are benefiting from quality products.
Field monitoring of SHS has been effective as it has helped to promote dissemination of quality SHS and quality after-sales services and has discouraged manipulation or misuse of subsidy.
Because of subsidy provision, larger proportions of rural population are able to install SHS in their houses. Rural people who would have never even thought about electricity light in their dream have obtained light from SHS.
The existence of SHS business and market in the country is increasing due to the provision of subsidy: Around 60 registered PV companies with around 400 branches/dealers and more that 3000 certified technicians.
Besides stimulating demand the subsidies have been used as an incentive to achieve good quality through a system of qualified system component and qualified manufacturing/installing companies.
