SEIA is committed to ensuring all voices are heard during the standards development process and welcomes participation in the Standard Technical Committees from a broad range of stakeholders interested in or affected by SEIA’s standards. New standards will be developed under a multi-step, consensus process through SEIA’s Standards Technical Committees, a diverse collection of SEIA members and non-members who represent producer, user and general interest categories. SEIA will pursue a variety of new standards for the solar and storage industry, including standards that enhance supply chain traceability, consumer protection and end-of-life or performance period management. Setting effective standards will promote the use of best practices throughout the supply chain, making it safer and easier to develop and deploy solar while building trust among customers, businesses, regulators, investors and other stakeholders. Through national standards development, SEIA will create more open and efficient markets, reduce costs and minimize risk for the industry. We look forward to creating new industry standards that will propel the industry forward and create a culture of compliance, helping to address PV recycling and provide assurances of ethical practices throughout the solar supply chain.” “Through strong leadership and SEIA’s new ANSI accreditation, we will help the industry proactively and responsibly manage its growth, building confidence among solar customers, businesses and key stakeholders alike. “Strong national standards are the bedrock of any successful industry,” said SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper.

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an Accredited Standards Development Organization, SEIA can now convene industry stakeholders to develop national standards for materials, products, processes and services in the U.S.
