Solar energy with a quality label
The international solar market is booming. This not only benefits the environment; manufacturers, installers, planners and owners of photovoltaic systems (PV systems) can also profit from solar energy. This is, however, only the case if systems are able to deliver energy safely, reliably and in the long term. Electrosuisse has therefore developed the independent Swiss PV quality label, with three different types of certification.
A Swiss PV Label is worthwhile:
The label guarantees a reliable, safe PV system which delivers long-term performance.
Certification is based on the latest international and national standards and regulations for photovoltaic components and systems.
The certificate pays off when working with investors, utility companies and insurance companies.
Standards; lightning and hail protection
Within the scope of the Swiss PV Label system Electrosuisse acts as an independent organization which tests the quality and performance of PV systems for operators, investors, planners and installers of PV systems. All fundamentals are examined, from planning through delivery and installation to start-up and maintenance as per the IEC 62446 standard. In addition to this, testing takes Alpine aspects into consideration and, in particular, Swiss requirements concerning snow loads, hail and fire & lightning protection regulations.
A plus for insurance; a bonus on the market
Error-free plug connectors; correct mains connections and the smallest possible electro-magnetic fields are also key factors in ensuring power production functions smoothly. Certification of all these aspects is advantageous for system owners when working with investors and insurance companies. Because everyone likes to work with a reliable partner.
