What is VDE Certification?

VDE certification, issued by the German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE), is one of the most recognized quality and safety certifications globally. It covers the safety, reliability, and environmental adaptability of electrical and electronic devices, ensuring that products meet European and international technical standards. In the photovoltaic (solar) industry, VDE certification involves extensive testing on product safety, durability, and electromagnetic compatibility, all of which guarantee that devices will operate safely and efficiently within solar power systems. For solar microinverters and PV cables, VDE certification ensures that they are designed and manufactured to meet stringent technical standards, providing a solid guarantee of quality and reliability.

                                                                         Invertechs was awarded the VDE-4105 grid connection certificate issued by DAkkS of Germany

Importance of VDE Certification for Microinverters and Cables

1. Ensuring Safety: Microinverters and cables play a central role in the operation of solar energy systems, and safety is paramount. VDE-certified products undergo rigorous electrical safety tests to ensure stable operation in various environments and conditions, without posing risks of electrical faults or hazards. For microinverters, VDE certification also tests device performance under extreme conditions such as high temperatures and humidity, ensuring their continued safety and reliability.

2. Enhancing Reliability: VDE certification indicates that the microinverters and cables are highly reliable. The standard includes lifespan testing, durability under long-term use, and resistance to environmental interference, ensuring that certified devices maintain stable and efficient performance over time. This provides solar system users with the assurance of consistent energy output for the long term.

3. Ensuring Grid Compatibility: Solar microinverters and cables must seamlessly integrate with the grid to ensure stable power distribution and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). VDE-certified Solar microinverters and cables meet high standards of EMC, minimizing interference with the grid and other electrical devices, which enhances overall system stability.

Risks of Skipping VDE Certification

In the market, some companies, in an effort to reduce costs, may choose to bypass VDE certification, offering products that have not undergone stringent testing. While these products may appear cheaper initially, they are prone to failures due to quality issues, which can result in potential risks for users. This can affect the lifespan of the devices and even pose safety hazards, especially in challenging environmental conditions where unstable operation is more likely. Our microinverters, however, undergo rigorous testing, ensuring that they are flawless in terms of quality and safety, offering peace of mind to our customers.
