VeraSol certifies pico-solar products and solar home system (SHS) kits with photovoltaic (PV) modules rated up to 350 watts. Companies work directly with a VeraSol-authorized certification partner to test and evaluate products to international quality standards for SHS kits. For products that meet the standards, VeraSol will issue a certificate and specification sheet and publish the product on the VeraSol Product Database.

If you need help determining whether your product is appropriate for certification, please contact our partners for details on the services and process.

For non-testing services such as co-branding a product that is already certified, requesting changes to your certification documents on the VeraSol Product Database, or inquiries about a product’s expiration date, reach out to VeraSol at testing@verasol.org.

To start, keep in mind these key points:

• Program Rules: Please read the VeraSol Program Rules & Procedures to get an overview of the certification process and requirements.
