Japan-based thin-film PV manufacturer Solar Frontier says it has become the first PV manufacturer to obtain the JETPVm Certification (JIS Q 8901) from Japan Electrical Safety & Environment Technology Laboratories (JET), a registered certifier of electrical products and other goods.
Unlike its predecessor, the new JETPVm Certification verifies the reliability of a manufacturer's PV modules as well as the organization's customer-support system. The new certification was created in June to coincide with the launch of Japan's feed-in-tariff program.
