Underwriters Laboratories Announces Personnel Certification Program
for Solar Photovoltaic System Installers
26.04.2010: Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global leader in
safety testing and certification, announced today the introduction of a new
program to train and certify installers of photovoltaic (PV) products and
systems. The program, available beginning July 2010 through UL University
(ULU), represents the first of many the organization will provide for
practitioners across a wide range of industries and professions. The PV
System Installer certification program was created to meet and exceed
existing industry requirements through a working cooperation with leading PV
industry stakeholders, NGOs and professional associations. The new offering
from ULU, geared towards licensed electricians, aims to satisfy a need to
improve the safety and performance of PV systems through a more qualified
workforce. With solar power expected to generate 10 percent of the world's
total electricity by 2035, the safety of installed systems will become even
more important. . Source: Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
