GSES & VDE Institute sign MOU of co-operation to provide testing and certification services for large-scale solar installations.
SYDNEY
Solar engineering company Global Sustainable Energy Solutions (GSES) Australia has signed an MOU of co-operation with VDE Testing and Certification Institute (VDE), the German national testing and certification body for electronic and electrotechnical products. VDE tests and certifies solar photovoltaic systems and components. GSES consults in solar design, engineering, system compliance, education, and capacity building. Both companies currently participate in international large-scale solar power projects to provide their respective fields of engineering expertise.
GSES and VDE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formalise their relationship for the promotion and delivery of services arising from the commercial opportunities available in Australia, the Pacific and South East Asia. VDE and GSES will together tailor and implement VDE’s power plant services for these markets. Both parties agree that the delivery of VDE’s professional certification services in these regions will provide opportunities to assess and validate the bankability of large-scale solar power systems. GSES is keen to work with and to promote the expert services of VDE.
Geoff Stapleton, Managing Director of Global Sustainable Energy Solutions, commented “the current competitive market for large solar systems creates opportunities for the application of testing and certification services to support the financial investment and the anticipated energy production of these power systems”.
GSES and VDE look forward to introducing this range of internationally recognised services to these markets.
