UL1703 certified photovoltaic modules

Ul is the abbreviation for Underwriters Laboratories Inc. in the United States. The UL Safety Testing Institute is the most authoritative organization in the United States and also one of the largest civilian organizations in the world engaged in safety testing and certification. It is an independent, for-profit professional organization that conducts experiments for public safety. It adopts scientific testing methods to study and determine whether various materials, devices, products, equipment, buildings, etc. pose a threat to life and property, and to what extent; Determine, write, and distribute corresponding standards and materials that help reduce and prevent losses to life and property, while conducting factual research services. UL certification is a non mandatory certification in the United States, mainly for testing and certification of product safety performance, and its certification scope does not include the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) characteristics of the product.

（1） Why do companies need to obtain UL certification?

1. The entire US market places great emphasis on product safety; When consumers and purchasing units choose products, they will choose products with UL certification marks.

2. UL has a history of over 100 years, and its safety image is deeply rooted in consumers and governments. If you do not directly sell products to consumers, intermediaries will also require products to have UL certification marks to make them popular.

3. American consumers and purchasing units have more information about a company's products.

4. More than 40000 federal, state, county, and municipal governments in the United States recognize the UL certification mark.

（2） UL certified UL1703 certified photovoltaic module usage scope:

2.1 The requirements of the UL1703 standard apply to flat photovoltaic panels installed in buildings or integrated with buildings, as well as to solar panels for independent applications.

2.2 Requirements apply to photovoltaic panels used in systems with a voltage of 1000 volts or less.

2.3 Requirements also apply to equipment parts connected or installed on photovoltaic panels.

2.4 Requirements do not apply to the following parts:

a) Output devices that obtain voltage and current from components, such as inverters and batteries;

b) Any tracking mechanism;

c) Battery components applied under strong light irradiation;

d) Optical concentrator;

e) Modules and panels for the combination of light and electric heating applications.
