Product Development:
taking pride in new innovations
and high quality
Product development within Mastervolt is
carried out by highly skilled engineers
working on the new QS series of products
and accessories. To ensure high quality
designs and the optimal development of
knowledge, the engineering group defined
a key philosophy:
• The only way to get a high quality
product is to go through the whole
development process step by step.
Mastervolt works with
standardised
procedures
with pre-described design
steps and evaluation procedures.

Product development, production &
quality control: a joint effort!
In the last decade Mastervolt has been
investing heavily in the professionalism,
structure and philosophy behind its
product development and co-operation
with producing partners. How this has
resulted in a key philosophy for product
development, co-operation and set-up
of the testing protocols is presented
here.
• Knowledge is everything.
Our designs are built using state-of-the-
art technologies, design tools and testing
facilities. You can not stay in touch with
new developments when working on an
island. Mastervolt works together with
several design partners, specialists (po-
wer electronics and control electronics)
and accredited test institutes to optimise
designs and the knowledge base of the
group.

Evaluation and testing of prototype
products is a critical part of the develop-
ment process. Most tests can be perfor-
med in house (performance testing,
functional testing, EMC, Harmonics and
field test at our own array). Some tests,
however, are performed in co-operation
with external test institutes (ECN,
KEMA, Fraunhofer, etc.). These tests
concern compliance testing, strain tes-
ting and extensive performance testing.
Investments in testing equipment and
external testing are crucial to the quality
of our product and has the continuous
attention of the group.

Technology is fun!
The innovative power of the engineering
department is essential to our success in
the market. On the one hand our engi-
neers closely monitor the requests from
the market, while on the other hand
there is also plenty of room to explore
and develop new innovations. We men-
tion the high frequent power concept,
multiple MPPTrackers in the QS3200
and QS5000 and the smart Soladin 120
inverter concept as results from this
innovative power.
The Sunmaster QS series is manufactured using
the most modern production techniques.
