SANTA CLARA, Calif. MiaSolé, the emerging leader in the manufacture of CIGS thin film photovoltaic modules received simultaneous certification of its 100 and 107 watt CIGS thin film, solar modules to UL 1703 and IEC 61646 and 61730 standards on October 30, 2009. It was the first CIGS thin film module to be certified by UL to the three most critical certification standards and all three UL certifications were accomplished simultaneously.

"We are delighted to have this third-party validation of the safety and reliability of our products from such a well respected certification body such as UL,” said Joseph Laia, CEO. This successful certification represents the culmination of Miasolé’s in house testing capability and the last two years of committed and focused work. “I wish to recognize the effort of our reliability and testing team. They have extensively tested our modules well beyond the current industry standards. Anything that we can envision having an impact on safety, quality or reliability has been thoroughly tested."
