37 billion U.S. dollars global market services, set up solar panel lab CSA

Recently, the worlds leading testing and MAX3491ECSD datasheet and certification organization officially announced the formation of CSA International Photovoltaic Testing Laboratory, dedicated to testing and MAX3491ECSD price and certification is considered to homes and MAX3491ECSD suppliers and businesses and alternative energy solar panels and equipment.

CSA International, Mr. Randall W. Luecke, President, said: "PV market is growing rapidly, an increase of over 110% in 2008. The new laboratory will help to improve the industrys testing and certification. In addition, governments and enterprises In co-operation, joint development of alternative energy programs, to promote economic recovery and reduce the impact on the environment. CSA Internationals testing and certification with professional knowledge, can help manufacturers to existing qualified, and the new alternative energy technology to market. "

The laboratory testing and certification of PV modules based primarily on the North American and international standards. Environmental testing laboratory to have a box for the TC200 / HF10 temperature cycle testing to simulate extreme climate change. To ensure that the module complies with electric shock and fire standards, laboratories can also reverse current overload on the panel test, leakage current testing, water testing and the impact resistance and resistance to abrasions tests.

CSA International The new solar photovoltaic laboratory in Vancouver, the North American and international customers to better meet the certification and testing requirements. The lab is part of the Vancouver office facilities. Vancouver office has 85 employees, they have a wealth of different product areas of expertise. Laboratory will be fully operational later, alternative energy products meet the high demand.

2008, global installed solar PV market reached 37.1 billion U.S. dollars of revenue, the installation reached 5.95GW, where growth in 2008 is located in the United States is one of the top three. PV prices in the past 15 years the average annual decrease of 4%.

According to U.S. Department of Energy, said most of the sustainable operation of solar power systems for 30 years, and with four to five years will be able to recover the costs (including allowances, after deducting refunds and government incentives.) Appraisal Journal that the annual savings of $ 1 by calculating the cost of utilities, a solar power system can enhance the value of a family of 20 U.S. dollars.

CSA International also supports the independent research company in the United States and Canada, Wakefield Research conducted a consumer survey study to assess public attitudes and perceptions of solar energy. Key findings are as follows:

Those surveyed for the installation of solar technology in the home the economic benefits of knowledge is low. The United States and Canada 66% 64% of people surveyed believe that the cost of installing solar panels may exceed the energy cost savings.

43% and 37% of American citizens to consider the future of Canadian citizens to install solar panels at home.

More than 70% of U.S. citizens and 76% of the Canadian people that if their employees in the workplace, installing solar panels, will think they made a very good business decision and foresight.

95% of the American people think of solar energy technology is a home security solution.
