What quality standards exist for solar water heaters?
To ensure high quality and satisfactory performance of solar water heating systems, the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) certifies and rates the performance of solar energy equipment. SRCC is an independent, non-profit organization headquartered in Washington D.C. The SRCC certification is similar to the UL certification and EnergyGuide certification that residential appliances undergo for performance and efficiency, respectively. Solar systems that carry the SRCC logo have undergone extensive tests to ensure years of operation for the consumer.
