What certifications do we offer for PV modules?

At our ISO 17025 accredited laboratories around the globe, we test and certify PV modules according to national and international standards, including IEC 61215 and IEC 61730. Besides this we offer testing under special as well as more severe conditions, performance characterization and energy yield testing, just to name a few.

Do solar PV installations need to be MCs certified?

Also, the Council of Mortgage Lenders has advised that, as a minimum to avoid the risk of a property being ineligible for a mortgage, both new and existing Solar PV installations must be MCS certified. All renewable energy products are examined by certification bodies against MCS manufacturing and testing standards.

What is PV module testing and certification?

PV module testing and certification is the process of gaining market access and ensuring reliability for your PV modules. It involves testing and certification covers a wide range of different performance safety tests. These tests simulate the various environmental conditions that PV modules will be exposed to during their lifetime.

Is there a world-wide quality assurance programme for small-scale PV systems?

In the interest of world-wide quality assurance and as a reaction to the lack of standards up to now, various PV producers, lending institutions (e.g. the World Bank) and governmental as well as private organisations came out in favour of a world-wide programme for quality assurance of small-scale PV systems.

How does TÜV SÜD evaluate PV modules?

TÜV SÜD evaluates the performance of your PV modules to ULC/ORD-C1703, UL 1703 and IEC 61730 safety standards as well as IEC 61215 and IEC 61646 performance standards. Our experts conduct factory audits that include initial and follow-up surveillance for manufacturing facilities.

Does Solar Energy UK have a Responsible Sourcing toolkit?
