In a statement Jurawatt said the modules manufactured in Neumarkt and Oberpfalz had been certified by the Chamber of Industry & Commerce Regensburg for “fully and entirely” meeting the European-made conditions. Emvee and Taiwan-based DelSolar said they were certified by TÜV Rheinland.
Emmvee chief executive Steffen Graf said the certification news was “no surprise”.
The competitive advantage for European manufacturers “can help to strengthen the European market and to create equal competitive conditions,” he added.
