Strong Arguments for Marketing Photovoltaic Systems

When harnessing the power of the sun for electricity generation, safety is paramount:

Numerous standards dictate the requirements that photovoltaic products must meet. The "TÜV NORD Type-tested" mark provides assurance and guarantees that the demands of the respective product standard and the recognized rules of technology are followed.

Certification marks from TÜV NORD CERT are known and recognized in Europe and many other countries around the world as symbols of quality and safety. The mark indicates that claims made by the manufacturer and product requirements have been verified by neutral experts.

Thus, the mark supports the credibility of product information; in competition with non-certified products, this results in a marketing advantage. For manufacturers, certification is also an effective contribution to limiting product liability risk.

Combined Heat and Power Plants (CHP)


Combined Heat and Power Plants (CHP) are often used where both electricity and heat are needed, but also as peak load power plants. Since CHP units achieve high efficiency in heat utilization, their operation is supported by incentives under the Combined Heat and Power Act (KWKG).
