Kiwa quality approval

Kiwa operates as an internationally recognized certification body for solar PV modules (including all technologies). This is the Kiwa Quality Approval. We use our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory facilities to test and eventually certify PV modules according to the latest versions of the IEC 61730 for safety and IEC 61215 for performance requirements of PV modules.

How does this work?

Contact us and based on your request we will inform you about which information is needed in order to make a quotation. When the quote is accepted and the order is given, Kiwa will guide you through the whole process and help with collecting all the right reports and documents. Parallel to that, an audit at the factory location will be planned and carried out by Kiwa’s solar experts as part of the certification process. When you have successfully passed the entire sequence, you will receive a certificate to demonstrate your PV modules meet the relevant requirements.
