What Standards Regulate Solar Products And Equipment?
Solar water heating products are evaluated and rated by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). Created in 1980, the SRCC is an independent, nonprofit organization that develops and implements certification programs and national rating standards for solar energy equipment. SRCC certification programs help government agencies, utility companies and consumers by providing a basis for tax credit and rebate regulation, as well as a means for setting codes and standards. Many states and utility companies require SRCC certified products to be used in solar installations.
