UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is the leading product

certification company in the renewable and alternative

energy testing industry. UL offers manufacturers in the

renewable energy businesses an unmatched

combination of technical and regulatory expertise that

will help them through the certification process in PV

systems and products and also in Wind Systems in the most effective

way possible. UL provides manufacturers with global certification

marks and safety performance conformity , and also offers compliance

to the IEC standards and issues the applicable CB certifications.

Currently serves photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar/

concentrating PV and provides market access for Wind Systems , Wind-

Turbine-Generator-Systems or WTGS and electrical subassemblies,

applicable for both to stand-alone (not grid-connected) or utility

interactive applications. For more details please visit us at www.ul.com

Some projects executed by the Organizers:

5 megawatt Gandhinagar Photovoltaic Rooftop Programme • Net 11 MW photovoltaic power plant consultancies using

various technologies • Solar Policies and Regulation Advisory • Performance and safety testing of photovoltaic modules,

inverters, LEDs and various other electrical components • Third-party inspection of photovoltaic plants • Establishment of

state-wide ITI vocational solar training programme including syllabus development, training of teachers, laboratory

setup and student placement.
