The standard for fire performance will be rolled out nationally from 2016 with California having introduced it a year early. The certificate is necessary for a PV system to be given a Class A fire rating, now a requirement in California.

“We are happy to see our products are better than most in the markets,” said Dr Chuan Lu, vice president, Astronergy. “Fire performance is critical to household safety therefore stricter standards are quite necessary. Astronergy is proud of its great performance as a first mover in achieving better quality.”

ReneSola, REC and PhonoSolar are among other manufacturers awarded the certificate already.

Energy Storage Summit USA

23 March 2022

When it comes to storage, the US market exceeded a gigawatt of advanced energy storage installations (weighted towards lithium ion) at 1.46 GW, more than the previous six years in total! An exponential growth rate could see the market hit 7.5 GW p.a. by 2025. The summit will provide a wealth of content around this vital piece in the US power puzzle, with sessions dedicated to explore how companies are making money from batteries, the latest chemistries and their applications as they apply to different use-cases. We ask how investors can match ESG criteria to batteries and we will bring case studies of successful deployment and project execution onto the stage to examine how you can ensure your own projects are successful.
