On the occasion of the world's largest trade show in the photovoltaics industry, Intersolar in Munich, Underwriters Laboratories has intensified its talks with the National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain, CENER (Centro Nacional de Energias Renovables), to cooperate in the field of testing and certification of photovoltaic modules. With the planned collaboration UL and CENER continue to expand their global footprint in renewable energy sector to meet growing demand. It allows both parties to offer PV manufacturers to test and certify their products according to national and international standards as well as to UL standards by only one testing facility, and thus giving them easier, more cost effective and faster access to the international photovoltaic markets and in particular to the North-American market due to CENER’s local presence and a highly skilled engineering team communicating in local language.
It currently provides services and research achievements in 6 areas in the field of renewable energies: Photovoltaic Solar Energy, Solar Thermal Energy, Biomass Energy, Bioclimatic Architecture, Renewable Energy Grid Integration and Wind Energy. One of the main aims of the CENER Photovoltaic Solar Energy Department is to support the photovoltaic industrial sector with its developments and to help reduce the costs of this type of energy source, improving and increasing its possibilities of use. CENER PV Laboratory performs PV modules tests according to the standards IEC 61215, IEC61646, IEC 62108 and IEC 61730. For this purpose, CENER is accredited by IEC and ENAC. This lab is also equipped for PV inverters tests.
