The conversion of solar energy into electricity is becoming more and more popular among Europeans, and therefore inverters have become a must-have equipment for many European households. So, what product certification is required for solar inverters imported from EU countries?
To import solar inverters into EU countries, multiple certification requirements must be met, mainly including the following aspects:
CE Certification
Requirements: CE certification is a fundamental requirement for products entering the EU market, indicating that the product complies with relevant EU laws, directives, and standards (such as the Low Voltage Directive, EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, etc.).
Key Tests:
LVD (Low Voltage Directive): Low voltage safety testing.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility): Electromagnetic compatibility testing.
EN 50549 Standard
Scope: A key technical standard related to grid-connected solar inverters, mainly regulating the performance and safety requirements of grid-connected inverters.
Requirements: Ensure seamless connection of the inverter to the grid, avoiding negative impacts on grid stability.
RoHS Certification
Requirements: Restrict the use of hazardous substances in inverters (such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.), complying with EU environmental requirements.
Eco Design Directive
Scope: Prescribes that the design of energy-related products must meet energy efficiency standards, ensuring a high level of product energy efficiency.
Protection Rating Certification
Requirements: Inverters must meet certain protection ratings (such as IP65 or higher) to ensure reliable operation of the equipment in outdoor or specific environments.
Local Grid Connection Certifications (e.g., G Mark)
Requirements: Some countries have additional certification requirements for grid-connected inverters, such as:
Germany: VDE 4105 (Grid Connection Standard).
Italy: CEI 0-21 (Grid Connection Regulations).
These certifications ensure that solar inverters comply with EU regulations and can be legally imported and operated within EU member states.
