Strategic Recommendations and Roadmap for Regional Solar PV and SHC Qualification and Certification Frameworks in the SPC Region
The Roadmap lays out a strategy for advancing solar qualifications and certifications in the Pacific Islands. This strategy is crafted to reflect the unique needs and contexts of the region, ensuring that the qualifications are pertinent, adaptable, and supported across the region. The approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the region's specific workforce and skill requirements in the solar industry, emphasizing the need for qualifications tailored to these demands.
The strategy incorporates a blend of inclusivity and collaboration, involving industry experts across the region in the development process. It also underscores the importance of a flexible qualification structure that can cater to the diverse educational, work, and cultural needs of different Pacific Island countries. Standardisation and accreditation of solar qualifications on a regional level are highlighted, ensuring consistency and recognition across countries
Baseline Assessment on Existing Solar Quality Infrastructure (QI) Frameworks and Management Systems in East African Community (EAC) and Pacific Community (SPC)
The increasing demand for reliable and efficient solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has highlighted the importance of robust Quality Infrastructure (QI) frameworks across the globe as an essential prerequisite for economic development and competitiveness. QI frameworks play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality, safety, and sustainability of solar products and services. With the solar market facing significant challenges such as substandard products and unreliable imports, there is an urgent need to develop comprehensive QI frameworks that cater to the specific needs of growing markets such as Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
Recognizing the critical role of QI in achieving sustainable development goals, it is imperative to conduct a Baseline Assessment of current QI frameworks in the East African Community (EAC) and the Pacific Community (SPC). The assessment that offers valuable insights into current regulations, standards, stakeholders, and capacities, paving the way for tailored QI frameworks and management systems.
