UL certification requires an extensive set of electrical and mechanical tests of the modules over several months. Under the UL certification program, testing ensures internal compliance with current safety standards. The modules were exposed to several rounds of testing, including accelerated stress testing under various climate conditions, mechanical impact tests, wind, snow, fire, rain, and arcing. The Antaris Solar modules passed all the safety requirements to receive the certification.
In addition to the UL certification, the AS M and AS P modules have been certified by TUV Nord, a major German testing body for quality and safety assurance. The AS M series modules also demonstrated above-average robustness and performance in a recent module comparison test conducted by TEC Institute for Technical Innovations in Germany.
