Underwriters Laboratories is a global leader in energy product testing and certification. The focus of the UL standards is in providing requirements for materials, construction and the evaluation of the potential electrical shock and fire safety hazards. The market access requirements for photovoltaic (PV) equipment are segmented in two main areas -- safety and performance -- that are integral to each other in the overall construction. UL's ability to combine technical and regulatory expertise enables manufacturers like Solar EnerTech to complete the certification process in a predictable and effective manner.
Solar cells and solar cell assembly, polymeric materials, junction boxes,
connectors and connecting cables are regarded as critical components of
photovoltaic (PV) modules. Their compliance with established UL standards is
crucial for entry into the
"Achieving our UL certification is a notable accomplishment for our
company and will provide us with the ability to more easily penetrate the
market in
"We believe our internal quality control requirements are actually more strict than many of the UL standards in order to ensure the durability and dependability of our modules in different environmental conditions. For example, among the 23 tests established by UL, one test is the damp-heat test which requires a solar panel be subject to 85 degrees C temperatures (185 degrees F) and a humidity environment of 85% for 1,000 hours (85 plus or minus 2 degrees C /85 plus or minus 5%/1000h). Solar EnerTech sets its testing facilities at the same environment, but doubles the testing duration to 2,000 hours, which further enhances our reputation and product quality among our growing customer base."
