The process of getting a photovoltaic (PV) module approved for use in Australia by the Clean Energy Council (CEC) relies heavily on existing international certifications. The CEC does not issue a separate "CEC certificate"; instead, it maintains a List of Approved PV Modules.Here is the typical proc

The process for obtaining RETIE certification for photovoltaic modules in Colombia is streamlined if you already have valid IEC 61215 (design qualification) and IEC 62730 (safety qualification) certificates. RETIE acceptance is based on a "Certification of Conformity" from an accredited body, which

Core SummaryThe assertion by Wang Yongqian, Chief Scientist of leading global solar cell manufacturer Aiko Co., Ltd., that "BC technology is the ultimate version of monocrystalline silicon cells" is not made without basis. It is grounded in the comprehensive potential of BC cells regarding conversio

1. CE Marking (Mandatory for EU Market)Purpose: The CE mark is mandatory for all solar modules sold within the European Economic Area (EEA), including Germany. It indicates compliance with EU health, safety, and environmental standards.Key Directives:Low Voltage Directive (LVD): Ensures electrical s

Introduction to Perovskite Solar ModulesPerovskite solar modules are an advanced type of photovoltaic (PV) technology based on materials with a specific crystal structure similar to the mineral perovskite. They represent a promising and rapidly developing frontier in solar energy due to their high e

1. What are BC Components?BC (Back Contact) solar components are a high-efficiency photovoltaic technology where all electrical contacts are moved to the rear side of the solar cell. This eliminates the front-side metal grid, maximizing sunlight capture and improving aesthetics. Key technologies inc
