At present, the certification of international photovoltaic products mainly includes the US UL certification, the Canadian CSA certification, etc., China has the Golden Sun certification.
Certification not only enhances customers' good impression of product quality and corporate reputation, but also authoritative third-party certification is also a necessary condition for buyers to purchase products, and is a passport for products to enter the international market. More importantly, in the field of photovoltaics, certification is also one of the necessary conditions for product financing and policy support. When many companies seek export credit insurance or financial institution financing support, the other party often asks for product quality requirements. At this time, the product certificate is a proof of high quality assurance. For example, in Germany, one of the largest markets for photovoltaic products, importers often require certificates and reports from relevant agencies to be used to obtain support from financing institutions. In addition, different governments have also introduced a series of financial subsidies for photovoltaic products. PV system operators will not only benefit from the use of photovoltaic power generation, but also receive state funding. Many countries are accelerating their solar programs, and state subsidies are an important measure for manufacturers, importers, installers, investors and operators.
In the intensified competition in the photovoltaic market, some export companies are also looking for other opportunities and ways to increase their market competitiveness. Participation in certification is undoubtedly a shortcut to open the market, but the products are not smooth in the certification. From the perspective of certification, the accuracy of power measurement of photovoltaic products, the consistency and reliability of product quality, and the problems of quality control are more prominent. At present, most companies have their own quality control department to detect and control the quality of their products. The power measurement of the component is directly related to the economic interests of the factory and the buyer. The factors affecting the accuracy of the component power measurement are various, such as the degree of agreement between the test environment and the STC, the accuracy of the equipment, the consistency, the stability, and the operator. The experience and skills, the test standard board / the periodic calibration of the test equipment, etc., so the test experience, test conditions, process control requirements of different companies are often different, the results of different quality control will be very different. The reporter of Polaris Solar Photovoltaic Network summarizes the access certification institutions of photovoltaic products in the world, for enterprises to understand and provide reference for China PV to enter the international market.
