Solar Energy; Thermal and Photo Voltaic!

Kiwa now offers Testing and Certification services for Both Solar Thermal Collectors and Systems, as well as PV Modules!

Solar Thermal

Kiwa has been accredited and Notified by CEN as testing lab and Certification Body for the standards EN 12975 (Solar Collectors) and EN 12976 (Solar Boilers and systems) This means that you have a fast and highly recognized alternative in order to get your products Certified for Solar Keymark and / or Zonnekeur!

Zonnekeur and Solar Keymark

The voluntary Dutch Zonnekeur quality mark makes a statement concerning the safety, reliability, and durability of a solar boiler as well as the energy saving it realises. It aims to stimulate the implementation of high-quality solar boilers. Products with the Zonnekeur label comply with the stringent Dutch requirements in relation to quality, durability and performance.

Solar Keymark is the European quality mark for solar boilers and collectors. We have already applied for the accreditation and notification as Certification Body for the European Solar Keymark Approval.

Kiwa Gastec has acquired the solar thermal test facilities of TNO Delft (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research) to enable testing and certification pursuant to Zonnekeur and Solar Keymark. The test facilities have been relocated to the premises of Kiwa Gastec in Apeldoorn.

Solar PV

Since the first half of 2009, Kiwa has developed their services in order to test and certify PV modules according to the IEC – EN Standards IEC-EN 61730, IEC-EN 61215 and IEC-EN 61646.

As Kiwa is already considered as a reference certifier within the building and construction sector, as well as the energy sector, you can rely on a well recognized testing and certification scheme.
