ANTARIS SOLAR receives UL certification on PV solar panels

MECHANICSBURG, USA: ANTARIS SOLAR, an international provider of solar photovoltaic panels, announced that Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has certified the company’s AS M and AS P series of PV modules (photovoltaic modules) in accordance with its strict standards. The AS M series offers high efficiency monocrystalline solar panels with a power output of 190 watts and more, and the AS P series encompasses regular and black polycrystalline modules with a power output of 230 watts and higher.

UL certification requires an extensive set of electrical and mechanical tests of the modules over several months. Under the UL certification program, testing ensures internal compliance with current safety standards. The modules were exposed to several rounds of testing, including accelerated stress testing under various climate conditions, mechanical impact tests, wind, snow, fire, rain, and arcing. The ANTARIS SOLAR modules passed all the safety requirements to receive the certification.

In addition to the UL certification, the AS M and AS P modules have been certified by TÜV Nord, a major German testing body for quality and safety assurance. The AS M series modules also demonstrated above-average robustness and performance in a recent module comparison test conducted by TEC Institute for Technical Innovations in Germany.

ANTARIS SOLAR Founder and CEO Dr. Michael Goede stated: “Receiving our certifications is an important milestone for our company so that our customers can be assured that our products comply with all safety standards. We are very excited to be able to bring our products to the US after success in European markets.”
