Abound Solar Enters UK Solar Market
The CdTe solar cell manufacturer has received MCS certification qualifying the firm for UK solar feed-in-tariffs.
Abound Solar, a manufacturer of CdTe thin-film photovoltaic solar modules, has received UK MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certification for its AB1-series of photovoltaic modules.
MCS certification enables photovoltaic systems using Abound modules to qualify for UK solar feed-in-tariffs. The certification was awarded to Abound Solar following a demanding assessment of the production process and materials, and the rigor of quality controls over the manufacturing operations.
Abound Solar’s modules have already received certifications under Underwriters Laboratories 1703, TÜV (IEC 61646, IEC 61730, IEC 61215) and the California Energy Commission (CEC).
“Total installed solar power capacity is growing significantly in the UK,” says Julian Hawkings, Abound Solar Senior VP Sales and Marketing. “Abound Solar is very excited to be expanding to the market and expand on new and existing relationships with system integrators and project developers in the region.”
