Implementing Organization/Fund Manager: CLASP

Closing Date: May 17, 2024

Location: Global

Description:

CLASP is seeking a contractor to support the development, operationalization, and maintenance of an online solar product registration system for Zimbabwe.

The government of Zimbabwe is developing solar product regulations to enforce standards for a range of solar products. The regulations prohibit the trade, import, and manufacture of solar products that do not conform to standards listed in the regulation’s schedules.

VeraSol supported the government of Zimbabwe in adoption the IEC quality standards for pico-PV and solar home system kits (IEC 62257-9-5 and IEC 62257-9-8) as well as the development of draft regulations to enforce the standards. To enable strong enforcement of the off-grid solar regulation at customs, CLASP will support Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) to develop and operationalize a solar product registration system (PRS). The product registration system would require importers and local manufacturers of the solar products to register products that they intend to import, manufacture and trade in Zimbabwe. The PRS will support the enforcement of the Electricity (Solar Products) Regulations through port of entry verification (and pre-export approvals) and facilitate the identification of non-compliant solar products during market surveillance activities.
