Development of Regional Quality Infrastructure Frameworks for Solar PV Products and Services for SPC region

In efforts to boost the quality of the regional solar market in the Pacific region, the Pacific Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (PCREEE) in partnership with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the International Solar Alliance (ISA) with technical support from MicroEnergy International (MEI), has successfully completed the Development of Regional Quality Infrastructure Frameworks for Solar Photovoltaic Products and Services. These efforts are part of the Solar Technologies and Application Centre (STAR-C) initiative, implemented with financial support from the Government of France. This initiative is anchored within the Global Network of Regional Sustainable Energy Centers (GN-SEC) with the aim of enhancing regional solar energy quality and qualification frameworks across West and East Africa, as well as the Pacific Islands (SPC).

The QI framework developed for the Pacific region serves as a comprehensive policy tool to ensure reliability, safety and performance of technology solutions and components across the SPC region and its partner institutions. This is envisaged to establish a baseline of trust in the industry and the market, ultimately supporting access to reliable and affordable solar energy products and services.
