Following the company’s recent receipt of IEC certification for its solar modules by VDE Laboratories, Solar Power, Inc. has completed a sale to a prominent German solar integrator. The first supply of 200W solar panels associated with this deal took place in early December 2008, and the panels are expected to be used in the unnamed integrator’s Germany-based installation projects.

The recent certification is, according to the company, expected to pave the way for further orders, as the IEC certification guarantees the modules’ quality and performance for use in the European market. 2008 saw Solar Power, Inc. break into the Asia market, while its U.S. orders saw strong growth.
