Under the process, CQC had tested the company’s modules for reliability and durability under high temperatures in both dry and humid conditions, as well as in conditions similar at high altitudes.

The tests have yielded positive results including meeting and in some cases exceeding International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, concluding that the company’s modules could perform well in such conditions.

Apart from the latest certification, the company’s products have received many quality certifications including TUV SUD’s Thresher tests, TUV NORD’s salt mist corrosion and sulfur dioxide corrosion tests, ammonia corrosion tests, and dust and sand corrosion tests, among others.

JA Solar COO Yong Liu said the company has become the first solar manufacturer to pass the testing, which is a further testament to the superior durability of its modules and the capabilities of its R&D team.

"This certification gives our customers further confidence that JA Solar modules will deliver reliable performance, even in extreme environmental conditions," added Liu.
