Hanwha's crystalline modules receive global certifications

Hanwha SolarOne’s crystalline solar modules have received certification from three global entities. These are the US-based Underwriters Laboratories, the UK-based Microgeneration Certification Scheme and Germany’s Technical Inspection Association or TÜV Rheinland.

The certification for the US, UK and German markets is essential for Hanwha’s modules to be sold in the countries as preferred options and even receive financial incentives in certain circumstances. Certifications were granted for its X-tra serial and Black Diamond modules as well as modules from its standard line.

Dr. Peter Xie, president and chief executive officer of Hanwha SolarOne, commented, "... As we grow into a global company, we continue to make every effort to ensure the market-leading safety, reliability and performance that our brand has become known for, is extended to all of our customers.  The UL certification extends even more of our high-quality products to the North American market, while the MCS and TÜV Rheinland labels will enhance our offerings in the United Kingdom and EU.  The certifications are a great accomplishment, and are a strong signal of our company's commitment to expanding in these markets."
