Compared to its predecessor, the new JETPVm Certification verifies the reliability of a manufacturers PV modules as well as the organizations customer-support system. As the first company to receive this certification, Solar Frontier continues to demonstrate the high quality of its CIS thin-film solutions and the companys commitment to long-term customer support.
The new JETPVm Certification (Trust Assurance) was created in June to coincide with the launch of Japans feed-in tariff program. Based on the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) for quality assurance in photovoltaic power generating systems, JET only certifies PV modules after examining and approving the quality of the product design, its production process, and the PV manufacturers ability to provide long-term product warranty and customer support. Solar Frontier applied for certification for its CIS thin-film modules in July and officially received the JETPVm Certification on August 9.
In addition to the dependability of its CIS modules, which are tested beyond global industry standards at Solar Frontiers Atsugi Research Center, its nationwide training and qualification system are a key component of its quality management program. Franchised dealers, distributors and installation contractors who enter this program are eligible for training in everything from installation to after-sales services. To date, Solar Frontier has trained and certified 18,000 personnel across Japan.
Solar Frontier supplies its proprietary CIS modules in Japan and worldwide for residential rooftop installations, office complex installations, while also offering project development services to help its customers accelerate the process of getting industrial and utility-scale projects permitted, constructed, and grid-connected.
