For the past decade, Kiwa PVEL’s annual Scorecard showcases manufacturers that produce PV modules with noteworthy results in our independent testing, and has been a vital resource for solar professionals worldwide.

Since 2019, Raba Kistner’s Cultural Resources team have been working on The Alamo, a historic Spanish mission and fortress founded in the 18th century, located in San Antonio, Texas. The objective of the project was to assess the condition of the Church and the Long Barrack, the oldest buildings on the Alamo historic site and where many Texian rebels made their last stand in the 1836 battle for Texas’ independence from Mexico.

Raba Kistner Inc. (a member of the Kiwa group), recently expanded in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, adding six offices and nearly 60 employees. As part of their growth strategy for the region and the energy sector, they have reintroduced drilling services to meet the needs of their clients in the planning, design, and construction phases of their projects.
