Solar Power Technologies (SPT) has announced that its Clarity solar monitoring system has been ETL-certified and will be listed in the Intertek database of certified products, for use in the USA and Canada.

Last month, Intertek was given authority to provide CPV manufacturers with an IEC Certification Body and test reports by the IECEE. The certification covers the range of Clarity panel monitors for crystalline and thin-film solar panels, as well as the Clarity wireless mesh network that enables system deployments up to utility scale.

“The certification of the Clarity system is an important milestone for the company,” said Ray Burgess, CEO of SPT. “Quality and safety are extremely important to us and this certification attests to how we design and build our products. This is another step in demonstrating the bankability of our innovative monitoring and optimization solutions that make large scale solar arrays intelligent, more efficient and easier to maintain.”

“Intertek is very happy to be partnering with Solar Power Technologies for its testing and certification requirements,” said Sunny Rai, regional vice president for renewable energy for Intertek. “We are pleased to have the Clarity system join the growing list of solar products that bear the ETL mark and demonstrate compliance to industry standards and requirements.”

In February, PanelClaw's systems were also certified by Intertek for mechanical strength, durability and ability to electrically bond.

Clarity system uses technology to maximize energy harvest enable operations and maintenance efficiency, driven by financial business rules. The company claims the system pinpoints array performance problems down to the panel level with an accuracy of 0.5%. The system was recently employed by Lincoln Renewable Energy to equip its New Jersey Oak Solar project.
