When looking to market within and beyond their own countries, CPV, PV, CSP, and Tracker manufacturers must understand and satisfy a set of testing, evaluation, certification and regulatory compliance requirements applicable to their solar products in order to sell them in new markets.
While the compliance requirements of different geographical markets may have various similarities in their objectives, each country or region may impose requirements specific to national or regional regulatory concerns or apply different paths for how these requirements can be satisfied. Market-driven voluntary certification marks may also need to be considered. These differences and nuances can cause major challenges and delays for solar companies trying to introduce new products to markets.
Since compliance and regulatory requirements tend to evolve over time, this presents another challenge to solar manufacturers, which requires vigilant observation to identify and address changes that can impact the continued marketability of their products.
